Nusrat Sharifi to ʻAliyah Mashayikhi
Nusrat Sharifi’s letter from Mashhad to ʻAliyah Mashayikhi, along with its envelope. It reads: “Dear sister, I hope you are doing well. We received your letter. We are all good and the only thing that is missing is you, especially when we go to the other yard and see you are not there. Bibi Khanum, Khanum Buzurg, and Khanum Jan send their greetings, as do the wives of Mr. Shah and Mr. Amir Husayn Khan. Turan Khanum, Aqdas Agha, and ʻIsmat al-Muluk say they miss you a lot. We don’t know if you also think of us. Aqa Nasr Allah sends you kisses and whenever he goes to the other yard he says, ‘[my] sister is not here, she went away, she sat in the carriage and went away.’ He recalls you a lot. Rubab Sultan says hi and says, ‘I will die from sadness. No husband was found for me and I will have nothing to do with my days and nights except weeping.’ Say Hi to Nanah, I wish you good health, yours, Nusrat Sharifi.”
