Note 151 — Chapter IV

“This step they ventured on in consequence of our want of cavalry, which prevented us from having patrols, and encouraged them to march above forty miles across a level plain, in no place twenty miles from our own post, and in some parts of the latter half approaching within eight miles.”—[Major Pottinger’s Budeeabad Report.—MS. Records.] Charekur is fifty or sixty miles to the north of Caubul.
