_Copy of a Letter from Colonel Hannay to Jewar Ali Khan and Behar Ali
Khan._
Khan Saib, my indulgent friends,
Remain under the protection of the Supreme Being!
After compliments, and signifying my earnest desire of an interview, I
address you.
Your friendly letter, fraught with kindness, I had the pleasure to
receive in a propitious hour, and your inexpressible kindness in sending
for Mir Nassar Ali with a force to Taunda, for the purpose of conducting
Mr. Gordon, with all his baggage, who is now arrived at Fyzabad.
This event has afforded me the most excessive pleasure and satisfaction.
May the Omnipotence preserve you, my steadfast, firm friends! The pen of
friendship itself cannot sufficiently express your generosity and
benevolence, and that of the Begum of high dignity, who so graciously
has interested herself in this matter. Inclosed is an address for her,
which please to forward. I hope from your friendship, until we meet, you
will continue to honor me with an account of your health and welfare.
