YOUR letter, proposing “to open* trenches against Nergûnd, and “applying for Purwânehs to the Aumils in the vicinity [of your camp] “to collect fascines and scaling ladders,* for the attack and reduction of “Râmdoorg, and the other forts situated on that road,” has been received, and is understood. You must not, at present, lay siege to Nergûnd; but pursuing the army of the enemy wherever it may be, drive it beyond the Kishna, and deal with it in such a manner, as shall deter it from facing our troops again.

Purwânehs are enclosed for the Aumils of Dhârwâr, Bâdâmy, and Gujunder-ghur, directing them to supply the necessary materials for scaling ladders, &c. When these things are wanted, forward the orders, and apply for what you require.

Describe particularly, for our information, what sort of a place Râmdoorg is.
