“When the Bukhara mission departs from Quetta, inform me immediately via telegram.
“Protest against the imprisonment of Maulvi Nematullah Khan Kabuli, enforced due to religious differences, and strive for his release.
“Inform me via telegram about the circumstances of the Bhera incident. It is a matter of great concern in the history of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat.
