the pass.

Doubtless it will afford you some pleasure to learn that you have
earned quite a reputation among the natives, both Tibetan and
Bhotias (Shokas), on account of your universal cordiality,
generosity and pluck. They are constantly inquiring about you,
and relating your many good traits. Should you ever think of
returning here you have made many friends, and you would get a
very warm welcome from the natives.

Dr. H. Wilson tells me that, when he took you over from your
captors, _the officials of Tibet_, you were in a dying state, and
that he only just got you in the nick of time. How are your eyes
and spine? I trust they are quite well again. I look back with
pleasure to my tour up to the border with you, and our return
journey after your journey into Tibet proper, _where you were
subjected to tortures by the Governor of the district thereof_.

With every good wish,
Yours very sincerely,
(Signed) J. LARKIN.
