Correspondence; Persian; Mughal; Early Modern; Penmanship; Bihar; British India; 18th century
Description:
Letter addressed to Sharaf un-Nisa on unburnished paper in Persian. It is unclear who wrote the letter, but it seems apparent that it was one of the brothers, most likely 'Alim Beg because he is not listed in the very detailed sign-off at the end of the letter. This letter is useful because it lists everyone in Sharaf un-Nisa’s family. This letter also seems to start in midstream, as there is no formal greeting and the letter begins uncharacteristically right at the top of the page. Persian script.

A Packet of Letters: Daim Beg to John Shore; Daim Beg to Sharaf un-Nisa
Subject:
Correspondence; Persian; Mughal; Early Modern; Penmanship; Bihar; British India; 18th century
Description:
Envelope and two letters in Persian. The envelope is addressed to John Shore from Daim Beg, and perhaps was sent from John Shore to Ducarel. On the envelope is Daim Beg's seal and the words “Fidavi Daim Beg.” A very small letter in Persian, apparently from Daim Beg to Sharaf un-Nisa (as it refers to a 'mother' (validah sahibah) and the other two brothers by name as 'bhai', 'brother') on burnished paper with gold and silver flecks. A larger letter in Persian on burnished paper with gold and silver flecks. The second letter refers to the year 29; the envelope referes to 24 Safar year 27. The seal gives hijri year 1198 (= Gregorian 1784) but this only tells when the envelope was written sometime after that date. Persian nastaliq script and Persian shikastah script.
Personal Name:
Daim Beg; John Shore; Gerard Gustavus Ducarel; Sharaf-un-Nisa
