Sayyid Mahmud Musavi Ruknabadi asks about planting barley in a piece of land and using the qanat's water: he writes that in previous year (1895) he planted barley in a piece of land in Murghdan (in Kishkhvan) and used the qanat's water for that.

Sayyid Mahmud is asking the recipients to confirm this statement. ʻAli Akbar Ahmadi, Haji ʻAbbas Ruknabadi, and Shaykh Muhammad have confirmed his word.
