telegram No. 377 of 1st November that it was available and more would be found;
and your telegram No. 389 of 16th November that about 4,0001 had been telegraphed
to Constantinople on 11th November. All this in reply to repeated enquiries from me
to make certain that funds were available, and insisting that mission must start
m ^ I* cannot therefore understand your present telegram wdthout further explanation.
I am endeavouring to arrange 10,000/. advance for boundary pillars, &c., as soon
as possible, but money is not yet available. You must meanwhile use your utmost
endeavours to get the mission started at once.
