Dearest Molvi Abdur-Raheem

After the sunnah greeting. I wrote you a card posted yesterday. Last night at around Isha time I took receipt of a letter from dearest Yusuf’s father-in-law, he writes, we are not to worry and that Yusuf is heading for Bombay. That letter was dated Sunday. In today’s mail, I received an air letter dated 10^th November. It contained a lot more detail. It reads that the British and Indian embassies were extremely helpful. It also states that on 6^th November a young man involved in the accident gave a detailed account of the incident. Further, he will depart by ship on 11^th November for Bombay and arrive on 20th November, inshallah. It states too that yesterday a brief letter to his wife, written left-handed, had arrived.

Today on the afternoon of 14^th November, I received a telegram from Qureshi Sahib to inform me that a man had been dispatched from Quetta. There was no correspondence from Haji Yakub Sahib in today’s mail. Look into the exact time of arrival and reach Bombay ahead of time. Moreover, until such time that full arrangements are in place for dearest Yusuf’s treatment neither he nor yourself should intend returning to Saharanpur. May almighty Allah accord convalescence. Happiness has turned into concern and lament. It is almighty Allah’s providence. Convey my salutations to your good-wife. Thank you for the fish.

That is all. Salaam
