FOOTNOTES:
[1] Mackeson, after doing good service at Bahwulpore, to facilitate the march of the Bengal column of the Army of the Indus, had made his way to Peshawur, where he had joined Colonel Wade. He was, therefore, engaged both in the eastern and western operations.
[2] Under Lieutenant Barr, of the Bengal Artillery, who has written a Narrative of Colonel Wade’s Operations, to which I would refer the reader for authentic details, conveyed in a pleasant, soldierly manner.
[3] See Shahamat Ali’s “Sikhs and Afghans”; also Mohun Lal’s Life of Dost Mahomed. The authority of the former, who must have translated the letters into Persian, is all-sufficient on such a point as this.
[4] Mackeson, Lord, and Cunningham.
[5] These were the prices fetched at the sale of the effects of Brigadier Arnold, who died at Caubul in the month of September.
[6] I may as well append the most important portion of it:

Major-General Sir W. Cotton will command the troops in Afghanistan, and all reports to be made to him after the 10th instant.
