70. In conclusion I have to apologize for this Report being later than
usual in preparation for the press. This delay is due entirely to the delay in
the receipt of the report of the Sindh Circle Superintendent and a few of the
army returns. But for the late receipt of these, the Report and statements
would have been ready for the press quite a month ago.
