Mustafa (khasnadar.) to Amos Perry, August 11, 1864

The Bey to Mr. Perry.

Praise to the only God!

From the servant of the Most High the Mouchir Mohammed El Sadok, Pacha Bey, possessor of the kingdom of Tunis, to our ally, the respectable and honorable Mr. Amos Perry, consul general of America, in our capital of Tunis, whom may God preserve.

(After the usual compliments.)

The news has reached us, (by the care) of the general of the camp, informing us that the tribes which were united (for the insurrection) have gone to the camp to ask pardon. The said general has communicated to us the demands of the tribes, to whom we have granted what they asked. Since then each one has gone back to attend to his particular occupations. In order to assure us of that which precedes, the general of the camp has sent us compacts, signed by the tribes, in which these same tribes declare that they accept what is said above.

We send you this letter that you may have correct information in regard to this matter.

May you remain faithful to God.
