I have reached Jahangirabad today, 5 Rajab and will be leaving here at about six hours passed midnight. I will pitch my tents when I reach Monghyre.

I had earlier sent you a report on the situation in Azimabad. I hope you have read it by now. My advice is that we should sent reinforcements to Maharajah Ram Narayan.
