Excerpt: ...bleeding to death such a race. If the Rana would sign this paper also as an assurance of friendship, to be shown the Pindari Chief, it would help greatly." "I understand, Colonel. You wish me to get that from the Rana?" "Yes, Captain; and I may say that if you can get through with all this there will be no question about your Majority; you might even go higher up than Major."
