Letter from Hisam al-Mulk regarding inheritance of Nimtaj Khanum's daughter

Letter by Mirpanjah Zayn al-‘Abidin Khan Hisam al-Mulk to Haji Mirza ‘Abbasquli regarding Hamshirah (the writer’s sister), the daughter of Nimtaj Khanum. The writer has kept some of her share of inheritance from her late father, Amir Tuman, with Haji ‘Abd al-Rahim, who has agreed to pay the interest for the girl’s expenses. Also, one-fourth of the writer’s possessions, kept by Haji Mirza ‘Abbasquli in a chest, belongs to the girl and should be paid to her guardian, Qamar al-Saltanah, and the rest should be divided among the siblings. In addition, Hisam al-Mulk has settled with some of the merchants of Kirmanshah over the late Nimtaj Khanum’s debt. Hence, Hisam al-Mulk pays half of the settled amount of one hundred fifty tumans and Qamar al-Saltanah pays the rest.
