APPENDIX. 
regard I have for your person. The number of one hundred days, allotted 
to prayer, was completed on the thirteenth of the second moon of the present 
year. I issued my orders for the departure : the body was conveyed with 
due pomp; and I joined the procession myself, in person, as far as it was 
proper I should go. I deputed the sixth Ague, now the eldest of my sons, 
to accompany it to the distance of three days journey from this capital; and 
I nominated Petchingue, mandarin in the tribunal of foreign affairs, and 
Iroultou, one of my guards, to accompany it all the way to Teshoo Loomboo. 
Although the Punjun Irtinnee, has changed his abode, I have full confidence 
that, with the aid I have rendered to him, he will not long delay to be fixed 
in another habitation. 
Lama, it is my desire that you shew kindness to all the Lamas of Teshoo 
Loomboo, and respect them on my account: from the conduct they have 
observed, I judge them worthy of being your disciples. I recommend to you, 
especially those who accompany the body, and who will perform the number 
of prayers, that you shall regulate, for the completion of the funeral rites. I 
hope you will cheerfully execute what you know will be agreeable to me. It 
only remains for me to add, that I send you Petchingue and his suite, to 
salute you in my name, and inform themselves of the state of your health. 
They will deliver to you a soutchou of coral, to be used on grand festivals; 
a tea-pot of gold, weighing thirty ounces ; a bowl of the same metal, and the 
same weight; a tea-pot and bowl of silver; thirty soutchous of various 
different coloured beads, and twenty purses, great and small, of various 
colours. 
The fourteenth of the second moon, of the forty-sixth year of the reign of 
Kienlong.
