Letter to Haj Ahmad Aqa the merchant of Khuy
Letter to Haj Ahmad Aqa, the merchant from Khuy; the writer discusses some financial issues and family matters; referring to a woman’s death, the writer [probably her cousin and husband] says that he did everything for her, even wishing to be sick instead of her, and that she had been content with him. He also discusses her loneliness, noting that he was the only one she talked to, day and night. That being the case, he expresses disappointment that the addressee has blamed him. He then talks about Muhammad Javad, reporting that he was circumcised after eight days, is healthy, has not caught smallpox, and looks like the addressee. The writer next mentions his father’s intention to visit and stay in Mashhad for two months and that his mother is not coming because she loved her brother’s daughter so much that she could not bear to see her absence; he also mentions ‘Abd al-Husayn’s fall and the injury to his hand.
