Major Dennys and I arrived at Duzdap on January 12th;
and,in the course of the 5 days ve were there,had several
interviews with Colonel Salar Amjad-ul-Mulk,and inspected
the Persian troops.
2. i'he Salar, who tells me that he was educated at St.
Cyr, and was attached for training to French infantry,is
undoubtedly a. man of strong character and-great intelli

soldier.
3. He has 1000 troops,who considering their short

They were well clothed and appeared well-fed and contented
4. The only equipment absolutely necessary to enable them
to move to Khwash,i.e., tents,can be taken out by -Major
Dennys on January 28th; but the Salar has asked for arms
and munitions of which 1 attach a list. He states that he
has been authorised to obtain any thing he required from
us; but,from correspondence which I have seen since my
return,it appears more than possible that the Persian
Government may be unwilling to pay for these stores; 1
therefore suggest that the list with approximate cost may
be wired to Tehran, and that nothing but tents and pakhals

should be able to move by February 5th. The infantry will
march from Mirjawa and the mounted troops from Duzdap
direct. He needsthe following assistance from the railway,
provision of trucks for 500 men from Duzdap to Mirjawa,
and the provision ja&xxx of water tanks for 70 horses and
50 men for one night at Kacha road station. 1 request that
instructions may be issued to the worth Western Railway
to provide these on demand by Major Dennys*
6. The position in the Sarhad is as follows :
The Rekis and ismailzais have remained quiet since
1916,but the Damanis,who had been kept in order,as much
by the payment of liberal allowances as by the presence of
