To Muhammad Ahmed, High Councillor of the Union Council
Thousands of blessings to you. I give news of the most splendid in our frontiers and of reports of our trading results. On the growth of our union results are well. The Sultanates have Ha’il, Qasim, Jawf, the Northern Borders and Riyash among its ranks. The Neo Sultanate of Arabia is growing to its wise desire. It is suggested that we seek to give the Sultanate of Palestine some growth to allow the prosperity of the peoples of what the Europeans call “the Middle East.” Yes; I have received their deals. I have good news in our deals with nations like the Prussians but... we have been rejected by many Europeans, including the angry papacy. Let not we groan of them though for I have observation.
With our trade deal set with Spanish Morocco we would use the Spanish ports as a rest stop for a adventure for our merchants. The trading interests we may process towards the land known as America may prove useful to our benefit. As you talk greatly of how it was the Sultan Mohammed Ben Abdellah al-Khatib of Morocco, whose open mind demonstrate the divine working of Allah’s kindness, that recognize the United States of America first and of how the founding fathers of the newly forged power were interested in studying the Islamic word. I guess the time approaches where we consider trading with the power that stands as it... altered its form. Massachusetts would make an excellent venture. We should also consider the Republic of Quebec as a possible merchant friend to be if Allah grants our merchants safe passage through the sea. For such venture we need to have a grand merchant to lead. I am aware of your suggestion and have set word to him about it. Izzadin El-Ghazzawy has accepted the call to adventure. The trader will trade well made carpets to the peoples of Quebec and Massachusetts, along with incense, coffee, lamp oil and other goods. If the adventure is to be of a blessed ending we will have set our vaults to become too small to hold all the gold. This will aid the people of the Sultanates greatly.
I should finally end with a observation: the High Sultant is personally eager for you to agree with the Later Qi Dynasty that we would make good allies. Perhaps royal marriages may emerge but we must consider first setting our merchant to sing their tunes. Let it be so by the glory of that which is divine.
Glory to Allah and the ever bless Prophet Muhammad
Hassan Tawfeek, the High Sultan’s Treasurer.
