" We have now to communicate to our son <strong>the</strong> event <strong>of</strong> Sildagar<br />

Nasr-eddm's Teturn to <strong>the</strong> Divinity, leaving a tr<strong>an</strong>sitory world for one<br />

that is eternal. Upon <strong>the</strong> occasion <strong>of</strong> his death we had already for-<br />

warded <strong>an</strong> express by l<strong>an</strong>d (across <strong>the</strong> peninsula) describing, for <strong>the</strong><br />

information <strong>of</strong> our son, <strong>the</strong> trouble <strong>an</strong>d affliction into which we have been<br />

thrown by this visitation <strong>of</strong> Divine Providence. With respect to <strong>the</strong><br />

concerns <strong>of</strong> our son, let not his loss make <strong>an</strong> alteration in <strong>an</strong>y one tr<strong>an</strong>s-<br />

action, but (on <strong>the</strong> contrary) let lis proceed in <strong>the</strong> same path <strong>of</strong> reciprocal<br />

accommodation on every needful occasion, <strong>with</strong> frequent <strong>an</strong>d uninter-<br />

rupted exch<strong>an</strong>ges <strong>of</strong> communication ; for Tr<strong>an</strong>gg<strong>an</strong>u <strong>an</strong>d Pulo Pin<strong>an</strong>g<br />
