But it must be remembered first, how that pattern of mankind, the illustrious Mir-mahmed-aaly, the learned, (whose learning and merit may God continue for a length of time!) had crossed over from Pùrania to Mongher, to make a visit to Aaly-verdy-qhan. As he had some connections with Seif-qhan, the hereditary Governor of Pùrania, a province which is situated just over against Mongher, and on the other side of the Ganga, he had re-crossed over to renew his acquaintance with that nobleman, as well as with his eldest son, a young lord whose name was Faqhr-eddin-hossein-qhan, but who went by the name of the Navvab-bahadyr, or valiant Navvab. On his departing from thence after his visit, this young lord gave him a petition, that is, a letter for Aaly-verdy-qhan, which enclosed a letter to himself; nor did the illustrious Seyd ever so much as dream of the contents; for he promised to put the letter in Aaly-verdy-qhan's own hands at some disengaged moment, and to support the contents with all his influence; and as he was naturally of an unsuspicious temper, he carried it to that Prince, and on the very first opportunity, put it into his hands. The Viceroy having perused the contents, turned towards the Lord Seyd, and uttered these words: Well, my Lord Seyd, I shall do whatever you desire, and as you shall bid me.
