Amritsar, 
19^ November 1894, 
(J) Letter from Mr. Rodgers to Mr. Irvine. 
My Dear Sir, 
I have read the paper you wrote on Gobind Siggh and Bandah 
with much interest. I have not the authorities you use, so do not 
know the contents of any of the books. 
I noted some slight inaccuracies which I am going to point out 
to you, simply because I like all works on the Punjab to be accurate. 
Journal , p. 129. Amritsar is 32 miles almost due east of Lahore, 
not 40 miles north of the capital. 
Page 133. Sadhaura is not on a steep hill. The banks of the nadl 
are just a little elevated. Page 122. The name of the faqir whose 
tomb is there to this day, is not I spent a week there 
when Archaeological Surveyor. General Cunningham’s description (Rep. 
Arch. Survey xiv., 72) of it is full of errors. You did not use him. 
The country round is flat but intersected with river beds. I heard 
nothing then of Lohgarh. 
Page 134. No coins were struck at Lohgarh. I have made enquir¬ 
ies and no one ever heard of such coins. They were struck at Anand- 
garh (spelt on the rupees <*Lf). This is Anandpur I believe of the 
present day. 
The couplet you give, as having been on these coins, I have never 
seen. There is one with j) j in it. The couplet is variously given. 
In my paper I made a shot at it. I examined thousands of Sikh rupees 
for my paper. Since I wrote it I have come across Pind Dadan Khan 
rupees with mint name cJUi ‘ salt,’ on them, for Pind Dadan Khan. I 
have also got a rupee. In copper I have also seen some novelties, 
notably some coins bearing the name of Dalip Siqgli.
