Fatimah Khanum, ʻAbd al-Rahim's inheritor, complains to the Ottoman Embassy that Karim Bayg, the head of Ottoman customhouse, with the help of Imam Jumʻah (the Friday prayer) and Ismaʻil, has unjustly sold part of her deceased husband's property to Muhammad ʻAli Muʻin al-Tujjar for less than its actual value. Fatimah Khanum claims that Muhammad ʻAli's loan to ʻAbd al-Rahim is a fraud and that despite her complaint against Karim Bayg she has received no response to her call for justice. In the other document, Karim Bayg Bash defends himself against Fatimah Khanum's complaint.
