From Zahra Sultan ‘Izzat al-Saltanah
‘Izzat al-Saltanah gives a report of their travel: first, on the way from Tehran to Qum, Mahmud Khan was thrown from the carriage, but only sustained minor injuries on his hands, for which Khanum [their mother, Khadijah Sultan] sacrificed a few sheep. They stayed for one night and made pilgrimages to the shrine. The road from Qum to Burujird was bumpy. Near ʻIraq-i ʻAjam (Arak), the servants’ carriage was overturned but nobody was injured. She then describes who accompanied them, how they were welcomed in ʻIraq-i ʻAjam (Arak), the places they visited, and that they stayed in houses provided by Samsam al-Mulk. Then, ‘Izzat al-Saltanah recounts their arrival at Burujird and details Mu‘izz al-Mamalik’s welcome, mentioning that Sardar had sent a free Khvajah [servant] to Khanum, arrived a week after their arrival, and was welcomed by the people of Burujird, who were tired of the government of Salar al-Dawlah, but further notes that Sardar has departed for Khurram Abad to punish one of the tribes.
