11. This Agreement in no way supersedes the Treaty made at Peshawur on
30th March 1855 (corresponding with the 11th of Rujjub 1271), by which the
Ameer of Cabool engaged to be the friend of the friends and enemy of the enemies
of the Honorable East India Company ; and the Ameer of Cabool, in the spirit
of that Treaty, agrees to communicate to the British Government any overtures
he may receive from Persia or the allies of Persia during the war, or while there
is friendship between the Cabool and British Governments.
12. In consideration of the friendship existing between the British Govern
ment and Ameer Dost Mohummud Khan, the British Government engages to
overlook the past hostilities of all the tribes of Afghanistan, and on no account
to visit them with punishment.
13. Whereas the Ameer has expressed a wish to have 4,000 muskets given
him in addition to the 4,000 already given, it is agreed that 4,000 muskets shall
be sent by the British Government to Tull, whence the Ameer’s people will con
vey them with their own carriage.

Chief Commissioner.
