If Nasr-i-Diyan is to be forgiven, I venture to suggest that in view of his
record of treachery it would be advisable that he should give the Governor-
General hostages or some other security for his future good behaviour.
I think that after giving him asssurance we could not subsequently take
punitive action at our convenience as suggested by Governor-General.

Governor-Genei al tells me that he and Soulet have sent a messenger on
behalf of both of them to Zair Khidhar and also one to Wassmuss.
• To the former they say “We are now one, come over to our side and give
us assurances that caravans and posts going through your district will not be
molested , \ His Highness says if Zair Khidhar gives his (word) (it may be)
relied on (this is part of scheme which Governor-General and Soulet are
concocting to make the main thoroughfare to Bushire via Eiruzabad
Earrashband and Abram).
To Wassmuss messenger was to say “ You are at the end of your tether

of opening the Eiruzabad route or as preliminary to suggesting pardon for
Zair Khidhar.
If former, Eiruzabad route is open and goods have, I understand, been
passing up it practically to limit of its transport capacity for some time past.
This route cannot, however, in my opinion, be really satisfactory as long as
Zair Khidhar commands first section of it. This petty Khan having flouted
Persian and British Governments with perfect impunity for more than two
years has now an overweening idea of his own power and importance, and
considers his position on road best means of wielding and displaying it, e. g ,
when Governor here tries to collect a little revenue down the coast or the
customs catches a smuggler, Zair Khidhar detains a caravan, preferably
