Letter
The writer pleads with the Ayatollah to review the following case: the late Aqa Shaykh Muhammad ‘Ali’s will was confirmed by Shabistar’s ‘ulama’ after the dispute between the inheritors had been resolved. The Ayatollah and Hujjat al-Islam Haj Mirza Muhsin Aqa verified this confirmation. But, a villain named Muhammad Sadiq, who represented his wife and the children of the deceased, has caused some trouble. Having the support of the local government of Muqtadir al-Mulk, Muhammad Sadiq objected to the sale document of Aqa Haj Mirza Aqa, handwritten by the deceased, regarding one-eighth of the house-garden. The government officials rejected Aqa Sayyid Razi Aqa’s appeals and have instead insulted him. Sitarah, the late Haj Muhammad ‘Ali Shabistari’s wife, incited by the government, has written to Azarbayjan’s Amir Lashkar and complained against Sayyid Razi, who was thus threatend. When Sayyid Razi called upon Sitarah, she denied writing such a letter, and Sayyid Razi went to Tabriz to defend against the claim. Meanwhile, the government officials threatened Sitarah, and four hours into the night, coerced her in secret to confirm the letter. The writer asks the Ayatollah to use his influence and write to Amir Lashkar and reveal the local government’s behavior, and urges him to get the current governor dismissed.
