Letter
From Zahir al-Sultan in Sistan to Prince Ibtihaj Sultan in Tehran. Envelope dated 2 November 1914. It concerns the problems raised by a certain Sartip [brigader] who has asked for the hand of a twelve-year old girl. He is already married with children; the girl is against the match and especially does not want to move to Birjand away from her family. The writer offers some alternative resolutions, emphasizing that a forced marriage may result in tribal disputes, and in any case, an unhappy woman does not make a good wife.
