Excerpt: ... risk will be great without Runjeet Sing's master-mind to rule them. Kurruck Sing is well intentioned and well inclined towards us, but wants the courage and energy of his father. I send you a letter from the poor old man, nearly the last he ever wrote, which as an original of the Lion of Lahore (a great man here) may be considered a curiosity. W. O. Letter from Rdnjeet Sing to the Honourable William Osborne. Notwithstanding our established ties of a friendship formed during your residence at my court, --a friendship which was as apparent to the world as the sun at noon day, --and my great anxiety to hear from you, you have never, for a long time, gratified me with a favourable account of your health; which has been a source of sorrow and surprise to me. I beg, however, that you will now furnish me with a full account of the fall of Candahar--a circumstance which has been highly satisfactory to all friends, --and with the welcome tidings of your good health; for the tree of friendship, unless encouraged by the husbandman of good will and affection, cannot flourish, but withers and dies like the cedar of the desert. Send to me for anything you may require from hence, and the fulfilment of your wishes will contribute to my satisfaction and to the increase of our friendship, which is to me a source of unceasing comfort, for the friendship of an English gentleman is the envy of all our nation. You will, I trust, gratify me with occasional accounts of your health and happiness till the time I have the pleasure of meeting with you, which I trust will not be far distant.
