LETTER CCCCVII.
To BUDRÛZ ZUMÂN KHÂN; same Date. (1st December.)

WE some time since wrote to you with our own hand, and we now again write, to desire that, after properly arranging the business of your army, you will leave the same in charge of your son, and repair to our Presence, through the interior of the country, and by a close or woody route, in company with Khizr Khân,* whom we have sent with two hundred horse to join you. You must proceed with expedition, but [at the same time] with care and vigilance. Our special retinue is about to remove from hence to the pass of Kurk-nâth.
