142 KHAMBA JONG
by negotiation with the Chinese Government. We were
going to advance into Tibet, to Gyantse, to see if we
could not effect it there, to get the frontier defined and
recognized, to have the conditions under which trade
could be carried on determined, and to have the method
of communication between our officials and Tibetan
officials clearly laid down. This, and not the obtaining of
satisfaction, which is the business of a military commander
in charge of a punitive expedition, was obviously the
purpose of our advance into Tibet, and it is odd that this

Patiala, where I took leave of him on my return to Tibet,
I meant to do my very best to get the thing through.
He once more gave me the same warm encouragement
he always extended to those in India whom he believed
to be working well, and I left again for Darjiling.
While we were making preparations at Darjiling for
the next move, correspondence was also taking place
from headquarters. The Viceroy, in reply to a letter of
the Lhasa Resident's of October 17, stating that he had
nominated a Colonel Chao in place of Mr. Ho, that he
had asked the Dalai Lama to send a Councillor of State
to accompany him (the Resident) to Khamba Jong, but
