Regarding Iranian pilgrims' condition

Regarding Iranian pilgrims' condition

Includes a report from Qasr-i Shirin regarding the problems that the pilgrims to Khanaqin face at the border. The writer mentions that while only thirty people per day get permission to pass the border, a large number of people gather there every day. This results in chaos and causes separation of husbands and wives or mothers and children as only one of them may be allowed to pass the border. The writer requests that the caravansary owners be notified to only send thirty people to the border each day. The next letter is in response to the report from the border and recommends informing the Ottoman Embassy to resolve the issues.
