- Title:
- Letter No.1120 of 1870 from Colonel Robert Phayre, Political Superintendent, Frontier Upper Sind, Jacobabad to William Lockyer Merewether, The Commissioner in Sind, Kurrachee [Karāchi]
- Scope & Content:
-
Letter regarding what Colonel Phayre perceives to have been a slight offered to him by the Khan of Khelat [Kalāt] (Khudadad Khan) in failing to include him in correspondence sent directly to Merewether as Commissioner, and also letters from Captain Charles Henry Harrison to Merewether, which again Phayre believes were intended to ignore him and all of which, he believes, shows an 'unhealthy tone' in Khelat which should give cause for concern.
The letter goes on to outline why Colonel Phayre believes that the Khan has developed a personal difference towards him, and why he believes that Captain Harrison is to responsible for this situation, before turning to the question of Captain Robert Sandeman's actions in Beloochistan [Baluchistan], which he believes was imprudent and uncessary, but which he believes has raised greater concerns over how the Khan of Khelat addressed the representatives of the British Government.
The letter further discusses what Phayre believes to be an attempt by the Khan of Khelat to gain control of the Deyra Ghazee Khan [Dera Ghāzi Khān] and Sind [Sindh] border territories and govern them from Khelat.
