As it appears to me proper I should inform your Highness of what I have done, I enclose copies of the Proclamation to the tribes and of my letter to the Logar _maliks_, and hope that your Highness may also issue necessary orders for the furtherance of our plans.

Rest assured of the support of the Government of India.

(Referred to in Chapter XLIV, Note *.) _Notes of an interview between GENERAL SIR FREDERICK ROBERTS and the AMIR'S AGENTS, MUSTAUFI HABIBULLA KHAN and WAZIR SHAH MAHOMED KHAN.

Dated ALIKHEL, 23rd September, 1879._ After compliments, General Roberts intimated to the Agents that at their desire he had granted them a second interview.

He now requested them to be good enough to speak freely all that they wished him to know.
The MUSTAUFI then spoke in the following sense: The interests of England and Afghanistan are the same, and the Amir and his officials are deeply grieved at the late occurrences in Kabul.

Moreover, the Amir is anxious to do whatever the British Government wishes, and most desirous that the dignity of the British Government should be maintained by any means which may seem proper to the Viceroy.
