Thank you for your letter informing me about various matters. I was pleased to know that you have appointed a sardar to help Khvajah Muhammad Hadi Khan. As far as other matters are concerned, I will be able to discuss these when we meet in the near future. I left my capital on 22 Safar and am staying in my tent now. Here I will be able to wait for a few days until your arrival. Here we will be able to discuss various issues, including the request of Zubdat al-Tajjar, Mr Scarfton to receive help
P.S. I pay a lot of respect to our friendship and whatever problem I face I always take action after consulting with you
