in those that say so. swear to you never to
break the oath that have made 10 you. lam
bound by gratitude as by my word: be assured
that will never forget what both impose on
descendant of the Prophet, and on a man
of my race. | do not desire to tell YOU SO
only by word. also desire to leave in your
hands writing which shall be for you testi-
mony of the oath | now come to repeat, |
deliver to you the papel-it is the reproduc-
ton of my thoughts.
