[Footnote 2: 'Lose no time and spare no money to obtain reliable
information of what is going on in Kabul, and keep me constantly
informed by urgent telegrams. I am in hopes that Jelaladin's report

excitement, warn General Massy and Mr. Christie (the Political Officer
in Kuram) to be on the alert.']
