I have acquainted myself with the contents.

I am glad to find your Highness is in good health, but sorry to hear of the unfortunate disturbances in your Highness's dominions.

Your Highness's letter, in original, has been sent with enclosures to His Excellency the Viceroy.

I have already informed your Highness of the wishes of His Excellency the Viceroy, and the reasons for the movements of the British troops, and I have requested your Highness to send a confidential representative to my camp.

I am awaiting a reply to that letter, and the arrival of your Highness's confidential representative.
In the meantime I have sent a Proclamation to the tribes, and letters to some of the Logar _maliks_, your Highness's subjects, to assure those not concerned in the hateful massacre, and asking them for assistance in carriage and supplies on payment.
