‘Abd al-Husayn Mu‘azzaz al-Mulk to Surur al-Saltanah

‘Abd al-Husayn Mu‘azzaz al-Mulk (Taymurtash) writes to Surur al-Saltanah and mentions that are both orphaned (one, Mu‘azzaz al-Mulk, is a paternal orphan and the other, Surur al-Saltanah, is a maternal orphan) and lonely, but he is grateful to have Sururr. He writes that recently his statements and requests may have upset Surur and says that he is willing to die longing for her but does not want to upset her. On the accompanying envelope, he has written two verses of a poem.
