competition, which would of course arise, would raise
the cost of animals, and confusion result from different
portions of the same army being supplied in a different
manner. I shall ask Major Curtis how far he would be
prepared to supervise such an extension of the baggage
corps hereafter contemplated, as would be required for
the Bengal column, and will acquaint your Lordship
with the result. Your second letter requires no reply,
as I have abandoned the idea of locating the Turks at
Mohumra so soon as I learnt, on my arrival here, the
real nature of their position in that quarter, and as I
informed the Resident, in my letter dated 28th of Jan
uary, copy of which was, I believe, forwarded to your
Lordship.
The third letter transmits a further communication
from Major Laughton, for which I beg to thank your
Lordship. That officer's personal experience in this
country entitles his opinions to great weight, and they
are by no means slightly regarded by me ; but neither
his objections to Shuster, nor Major Hill's gigantic
conceptions of the force required for the occupation of
Shuster, would disincline me from carrying out that
operation with the force I originally contemplated, and
which I am satisfied would amply suffice after effectually
defeating the enemy at Mohumra, as I rely on doing,
had not unexpected circumstances entirely changed the
features which led me to indulge in the hope of carrying
out the measure. The unfortunate delay of our occupa
tion of Mohumra, at least six weeks later than the time
I had contemplated—the unexpected strength of arma
ments preparing by the enemy in front of Bushire, which
may call for the return here of the European portion of
the 'ind Division—the lateness of the season, conse
quently, before the ascent of the Karoon could be com
menced and, above all, the restrictions imposed on me
