As soon as he crossed the river, the Mirzá wrote a letter to the Emperor, and sent it by his envoys. They reached the Court at the time it was at Nagar-chín, and were honoured with an interview. They presented the Mirzá's letter, in which he set forth the unfortunate state of his affairs. Intelligence of the distractions at Kábul had reached the Court before their arrival, and the Emperor had appointed Farídún Khán, maternal uncle of the Mirzá, and a noble of the Imperial Court, to go to his assistance. He now sent Khush-khabr Khán, one of the royal heralds, with money, goods of Hindústán, and a horse and saddle, to the Mirzá; and he wrote a farmán, in which he said that if the Mirzá required assistance, he would send the amírs of the Panjáb to support him.
