The letter provides details of the Resident's journey from Shiraz to Bassidore [Bāsaʻīdū], detailing his stopping points and length of stay. Outlined in the letter is the assistance provided to him by the authorities in Persia to assist with this journey, along with the marks of respect paid to him by local chiefs. It provides details concerning the Resident's planned return to Bushire, and proposed trip to Bussora [Basra]. In the process, it also includes details of various stopping points and various matters he intends to take care of during his journey.
