It is important to rise early, as your happiness has no right to attribute the failure to do so to yourselves, based on the information you have received. The compass received by your excellency is merely a notification of your intelligence and your official order to His Excellency Hussein Pasha Mazhar. Therefore, he has a right to be upset, as he is the one most deserving of knowing before anyone else. It is not permissible to move from one point to another without prior knowledge and without giving you sufficient information about the route and whether there is water available or not. Nevertheless, since your excellency has clarified this, it is best not to say anything in the future, even though I know he has a right to be upset. There is no objection to me going to him and explaining, so that I can awaken his understanding and make him comprehend all of this, and whether it is better to attend or not. I wish you would permit this. I went and proceeded to His Excellency the Khedive and woke him from his sleep. After he understood, His Excellency Hicks Pasha informed me that he did not wish to go to him in this situation and that he was satisfied with the compass received by me, based on your excellency's order. Since your excellency wishes for the experts to attend, they are available and there is no objection to them accompanying you on my behalf, as I cannot leave now. As I am aware, I informed his excellency that I know the truth is with you, but in order not to attribute the delay to your excellency, my greatest hope is that you will set aside your displeasure, as we have reached halfway safely. Given what has happened and the previous discussions, I believe it is sufficient to keep this matter in your excellency's mind, and there should be no reason to insist on the current situation. Your excellency knows this better than we do. Praise be to God, I have said this, and we proceeded with his excellency and the experts and took them to His Excellency Hicks Pasha, where he was waiting for us. Upon meeting him, His Excellency the Khedive was addressed with great respect, and he began to apologize to his excellency, stating that orders should not be followed unless they are from him personally regarding the army's movement. It is known that the one who issued the order to move was Colonel Farkhar, Chief of Staff, who told His Excellency Hicks Pasha before sunset while he was sleeping and inquired about moving early the next day. He agreed, and based on this, Colonel Farkhar informed His Excellency Hussein Pasha Mazhar of the order to move. His Excellency Hicks Pasha replied that he had no knowledge of this at all and that he did not imagine that anyone had come to him to inquire about it.
