relative to that subject.
You will tslegraph your arrival at the Indian frontier to E irl Canning, and solicit His
Excellency's orders as to whether you are to proceed to Head-Quarters with your Roport,
or to transmit it thither.
On leaving Teheran you will take up Bills for such amount as may be neaessary to
m ;et your travelling expenses, with due economy of the public money. The amount so
advanced I will cause to be adjusted with Her Majesty's Government in India.
This journey is not unattended with its discomforts and hazards; but I rely with
confidence on the experience and conciliatory spirit, which I have had occasion to admire during
my short oHicial acquaintance with you in Persia, for ensuring your safe passage to our
Indian frontier.
I am with truth and regard,
Sir,
Your obedient faithful Servant,
(Signed) C. ALISOX.
