I did intend to have marched back to-day to Piphumah but as I hear the Khonomah men have been fighting again (one of the Merhama men was shot 5 days ago) I have sent out Mema Ram to tell them that I am encamped at Mozumah and if they will lay their quarrel before me I will settle it for them, etc., etc. The Merhamah men have now lost 37 and the Samamah 40 men since war first broke out between these clans and I should like to bring this bloodshed to an end if possible. |

As two Kukis have just arrived with my dak, the first I have received since leaving Samaguting, I take the opportunity of sending in my diary. |
