About this item

Content

Letter enclosing a copy of Captain Harrison's Khelat [Kalāt], covering the period 11-17 July 1870 and commenting on the further correspondence recorded as having been received by the Khan of Khelat from individuals in Seistan [Sīstān] and expressing his concerns over what he views as a potential threat to the British Government's Persian and Afghan Policy.

Phayre continues by citing from a letter which General John Jacob had written to the Khan of Khelat in 1854 regarding the Khan's efforts to thwart the work of the frontier officers, and comparing that to the present day situation. The colonel also comments on the entry relating to events at Lus Beyla [Lasbela], details of which are yet to be received and Captain Harrison reporting on a raid by the Murree tribe on Poolajee.
