Mr your information, and, God willing, it will reach you by registered post next
You should act upon the instructions which I will now explain to you.
When you receive the power, you should take it to the Resident or British
Vice-Consul and Assistant Resident at Bunder Abbas. He will read it over to you
and you should admit before him that this power is from you to me and that I am
your agent in Calcutta in the same way as in the days of your father and affix
your signture—Najaf bin AK Ahmed Saleh—in the place which is marked in pen-
c jl* ^ Jhen the Resident or Vice-Consul will record his testimony and seal it with
the Government seal. You should forward it soon and avoid procrastinaton and
delay and you should send it to me by registered post to Calcutta soon and with
out delay. On the same day when it reaches you, you should take it to the Resi
dent or the Assistant who is now present at Bunder Abbas. I have written you
this letter oy this mail so that you may know that you will receive the power bv
registered post. I am sending you this letter in my father's letter and have for
warded another lettec to you by post. Surely I will write you by the next mail
also with the power.
Your letters to me should continue without interruption as before when Haji
Ali continuously kept me informed of the situation and of the reports. This is
what (was necessary to be said at present, God willing. I will settle matters after
the receipt of the power and proceed to your side in Shavval,
This is what had to be stated and may you remain preserved and generous.
