To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27 th instant, which reached me, by express, at nine o'clock p. M. Yesterday, stating your opinion of the expediency of putting down the rebel- lion at Mooltan with the least practicable delay, by a British force, irrespective of aid from the Durbar troops ; setting forth the difficulties attending it ; and calling upon me to determine, in a mihtary point of A YEAR IN THE PUNJAB. 167 view, the possibility of such operations at... this season of the year. I shall ever be ready to take upon myself responsibility, when unforeseen circumstances imperatively call for prompt and decisive measures, and I should not have shrunk from recommending a movement could I have conceived that by so doing the lives of the two officers who have been sacrificed could have been saved, or a body of troops rescued. Neither of those objects is now, unfortunately, to be attained ; but from what you state in your letter, cor- roborated by Burnes and Elphinstone, there can be no doubt that operations against Mooltan, at the present advanced period of the year, would be uncertain, if not altogether impracticable ; whilst a delay in attain- ing the object, would entail a fearful loss of life to the troops engaged, most injurious in its moral effects, and highly detrimental to those future operations which must, I apprehend, be undertaken.
