Karo-la, Yang-la, and Dongtse. A reasonable time for
this would be given.

By June 30 neither of the Tibetan delegates had
arrived, but both the Tongsa Penlop and the Ta Lama
were to arrive the next day, and we allowed the armistice
to extend informally till they arrived. The Tongsa Penlop
arrived first, though he had had twice the distance to
travel, and at once came to see me, and showed me a
letter he had received from the Dalai Lama, saying he
had heard we had appointed a date up to which we would

not anxious to negotiate. He was at perfect liberty to
discuss matters with the Tongsa Penlop, but he must no
longer delay paying his respects to me, and giving me
evidence that the Tibetan Government were sincere in
their wish to negotiate.

At eleven I received the Ta Lama and the Tongsa
Penlop in Durbar. There were also present the Tung-yig-
Chembo (the Grand Secretary, who was one of the dele-
