marked that Beloochistan was a long way from the Indian frontier, and he
did not see how its peace could have been disturbed in the manner alluded to.
I replied that during the last three or four years Her Majesty’s Government
of India had frequently complained of the proceedings in that quarter, and
that the expressions used by Your Excellency represented their sentiments on
the subject.
The conversation was then taken up by General Goldsmid, who will report J
the same to Your Excellency.
At its conclusion, Mirza Saeed Khan said he would at once forward your
communication to the Shah, and, as soon as he receives His Majesty’s orders, he
will fix an early day for the discussion of the boundary question.
