A History of the Mahrattas v2.c37.47

v2.c37.47

‘Dear Sir, ‘I have the pleasure to acquaint you that I rode on at the head of the regiment and Candahars, and reached Gunnesh Punt’s camp at four o’clock this morning, when I took his camp standing, bazar, and three guns, killed ninety, and wounded fifteen. I have only lost one Duffedar, and two troopers wounded, one Candahar killed. In short, there was nothing wanting to complete this matter, but sending you in Gunnesh Punt’s head. I don’t think he has much to brag of now. The inhabitants of the villages seem exceeding happy, and are coming in from all quarters. ‘I am, Dear Sir, ‘Your very obedient humble servant, (Signed) ‘THOMAS WELSH.’
