were endeavouring to stir up Persian subjects against us, we merely sent a peaceful
mission across the border. This mission secured an agreement with Brahim
Khan who though he had previously styled himself King of Baluchistan, now
undertook to receive a Persian Governor and pay revenue. This agreement was
also signed by Ah Muhammad, Dost Muhammad’s father.

advantage of the opening made for it, and as a consequence we have had this raid,
which had had the most serious effects, not only on the frontier but throughout the
State.
