Necessity for the purchase from Sistan of supplies required by my caravan on the road bevond
Kuh-i-Malik Siah.
Caravans going from Neh to Kuh-i-Malik Siah must travel along the western bank of the Shela ino

Route west of the Shela is impracticable for caravans going to Kuh-i-Alalik Si&h, when there is im c i
no fresh water in that river. lu,i
All supplies required by caravans bound for Quetta between Neh and Miroi must be obtained and
carried either from Neh or Sistan.
