Letter from 'Alim Beg to Elizabeth Sharaf un-Nisa

Name:
Sharaf un-Nissa
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.

Persian
Provenance:
Palmer family archive, Devon, England

Correspondence; Persian; Mughal; Early Modern; Penmanship; Bihar; British India; 18th century
