The following letter from Mr. John Beames was read : — 

 Dear Sir, 



With reference to the article on G-oojrat published in the Society's 

 Journal, No. IV. of 1864, page 402, I have the pleasure to send you 

 the inscription on the Baolee or large well with steps at Kharian, 

 mentioned at page 405. 



The word ' Jutyoollah' in the last line but four of the page is a 

 misprint for ' Fattih-ullah.' 



The inscription was copied by me when I was at Kharian in 1859, 

 and is strictly accurate. 



Yours faithfully, 



John Beames. 

 Purneah, Zrd March, 1865. 



P. S. — I also notice that in line 22nd, page 403, " Tossa" is a 

 misprint for "Topa-" the latter is the name for a wooden peck- 

 measure.
