Ḥusayn reports that people from "the southern land" (bilād al-qibliyya) have been asking for help because of the actions of the lieutenant (al-khalīfa), the Master of the Shipmasts (ṣāhib al-suwār), and a deputy (nāʾib) of the Qūsa, a clan in Upper Egypt. As a result, the "commander" (al-amīr) reprimands the lieutenant, and has been sending instructions to protect the people of Nubia (ahl bilād al-nūba).
Ḥusayn entreats Uruwī to support the amīr's efforts in reprimanding and curtailing the actions of the khalīfa, and not to write against these efforts. He also urges him to listen to the Muslims operating in Nubia, and not to the khalīfa.
