935.9.3

(_March 31st_) On Thursday (_21st_) Maḥmūd Khān _Nuḥānī_[2545] waited on me on that ground. On this same day dutiful letters[2546] came from Bihār Khān _Bihārī's_ son Jalāl Khān (_Nuḥānī_),[2547] from Naṣīr Khān (_Nūḥānī_)'s son Farīd Khān,[2548] from Sher Khān _Sūr_, from `Alāūl Khān _Sūr_ also, and from other Afghān amīrs. Today [Sidenote: Fol. 365b.] came also a dutiful letter from `Abdu'l-`azīz _Master-of-the-horse_, which had been written in Lāhor on the 20th of the latter Jumāda (_Feb. 29th_), the very day on which Qarācha's Hindūstānī servant whom we had started off from near Kālpī,[2549] reached Lāhor. `Abdu'l-`azīz wrote that he had gone with the others assigned to meet my family at Nīl-āb, had met them there on the 9th of the latter Jumāda (_Feb. 18th_), had accompanied them to Chīn-āb (Chan-āb), left them there, and come ahead to Lāhor where he was writing his letter. (_April 1st_) We moved on, I going by boat, on Friday (_Rajab 22nd_). I landed opposite Chausā to look at the ground of a year ago[2550] where the Sun had been eclipsed and a fast kept.[2551] After I got back to the boat, Muḥammad-i-zamān Mīrzā, coming up behind by boat, overtook me; at his suggestion _ma`jūn_ was eaten.
