Petition of the elders to Nuzhat al-Dawlah
The elders of the village of Turkman write to Nuzhat al-Dawlah to complain about Mulla Haydar, who interferes in everything and is not only the mulla, but also plays the roles of the village chief and steward. They report that Mulla Haydar has married off a woman, who is the wife of one of the peasants and had left for Khurasan five or six years ago, to his own nephew. They plead for Nuzhat al-Dawlah to relieve them from Mulla Haydar's ill-treatment, swearing on Sa‘id al-Mulk's soul.
