Page "John Coke (East India Company officer)" Paragraph 23

" My dear Coke, We have written to you officially, but I cannot refrain from sending you a line myself, thanking you for the honor you have brought on the Punjab Irregular Force.

Every one speaks of the gallantry of yourself and men.

I only regret their loss was so severe.

I feel proud to be connected with such fine fellows.

Yours sincerely, H. M.

Lawrence.
