regc rding the widow of the deceased Marresh who are both our
subjects. We have the honour to state that the case is as
was discussed by us that is the widow should get out (of
missionaries house} as the man died 6 days ago and his widow
has not until now observed the *iddeh w according to the
< —
Muhamsdsn Law. We also explained to you that the widow has
no option in such cases as long as her guardians are alive.
Whatever happened is contrary to our religion and such
occurrences will encourage the ignorant people. We request
you to afford your assistance to us to get the woman out
ol the house of the American missionaries and to be *»*** sent
to us. We will do the needful for her and as mentioned in
you letter we will inform her brother not to molest her. She
will get her maintenance allowance as long as she is
a widow and does not possess anything to support herself*.
You mentioned that Mr. Van Peursem and Dr. Storm "would like
to have a personal interview with us and that we should arrange
it direct if we like to see them. We beg to state that we do
not deem it necessary to have an interview with them’ in this
connection and at the present time* You are competent and it
and their
is preferrable that cm:/ dealings should be made through you.
We have informed you of the fact and we expect the arrival of
the womanjwe have already stated. The household effects of the
