No. 10.
I' I'oir General Sir John h>ixon to the Gilder Sccretavjj of State foi India,
12th April 1910.
Sir
1 have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your o341 of the 11 th
instant, enclosing the ^ iceroy’s 11 . 2702 of the 10 th instant and asking for
my observations on General Towrshend’s telegram of the 7th instant.
This telegram confirms what 1 said in my letter of yesterday that I
received no representation from General Townshend subsequent to his
telegram of the 3rd October. We are personal friends and 1 cannot but
think that, had not his opinion been modified by the information concerning
the sending of reinforcements, he would have found no obstacle in com
municating with me.
The Turkish troops he met at Kurna were not the same as those he met
and defeated at Kut, but still some of the Kurna men Avere there at Kut and
the remainder consisted of troops whom our forces had defeated before at
Shaiba and Nasirieh.
I have, &c.,
John Nixon, General.
The Under Secretary of State
for India.
