-
Letter regarding Colonel Phayre's duty on the Sind frontier to ensure unity and friendly relations with the Punjab border officers, and his belief that in undertaking this duty the borders are now much quieter than when he was first appointed.
The letter goes on to enclose a letter from Captain Harrison (No.42 of 1870) which refers to matters with Captain Sandeman and other outstanding issues from the Khan of Khelat [Kalāt], which Phayre views as an 'unbecoming and dangerous sort of agitation', as well as matters between the Khan and the Ameer of Caubool [Amir of Kabul] and forwarding Captain Harrison's dairy of 4-10 July 1870 in order to provide information on this recent anatagonism towards the Ameer.
