Note 176 — Chapter II
Reading edition
Major Pottinger to General Pollock: May 3, 1842. I have quoted from the original in Pottinger’s hand-writing. But the letter is given among the published papers, with the usual official emendations. Thus the passage, “They have asked for the money, if it is paid, to be given to Sir-Bolund Khan”—is printed, “They have asked for the money, &c., to be given to his Colund Khan.” It may puzzle the future historian to discover who “his Colund Khan” may have been.
