He complains that his wife does not write often enough or is angry with him when she does. He talks about how lucky they are to have Farmanfarma’s son as their son-in-law. Riza Quli Khan then discusses Zahra Sultan’s dowry and the amount of cash he can pay. He has attached a list of objects, including household furnishings and silverware, that they can provide.
