The people of the Kohistan hills are at murderous feuds with each other
Owing to disaffection having stirred up between the sons of Jullundur Khan a
Chief of Kohistan, the Ooloos (disconnected tribes) have collected themselves
to the strength of four or five thousand men on each side to aid of both parties
and a quarrel will shortly occur. Should this be the case amono’ these peonle ,
there is cause for great anxiety, (1) because in the event of their continuino* a f
hostilities the Government revenue will sustain loss, and delay will happen in
its realization; (2) because by observing the above disorder in Kohistan the
Punj Sherees will also rebel; and (3) because I am afraid that the above peonle
will some day kill me also.” After mastering the contents of this letter, the
t Eldest son of^simhghassee Sheredii Ameer ordered Khooshdil Khan J to go to Kohis-
