HC Deb 20 May 1862 vol 166 c1960
SIR MINTO FARQUHAR

said, he was anxious to know, Whether the news by the last Bombay mail confirmed the frequently repeated statement that the Persians had advanced upon Herat?

SIR CHARLES WOOD

I have received, Sir, information by the last mail that the statement is not true. The Persians do not seem to have moved any where.
