- Yate (1888): Northern Afghanistan or letters from the Afghan Boundary Commission, S. 354: „Our arrival at Kabul was signalised by an entertainment in real Afghan fashion. Aliabad consists of a large garden and house in the Chahar Deh valley, just at the back of the Asmai heights, and a little way to the north of the Deh Mazang gorge through which the Kabul river runs into the city. […] A narrow entrance, turning three or four times at right angles, took us into a courtyard some 20 yards square, surrounded by open rooms on three sides, and by a hamam on the fourth. […] We were first of all ushered into the rooms on the south side, which had been fitted up as ante-room and dining-room respectively. […] Sir West Ridgeway occupied the couple of rooms above the dining-room, which had been expressly furnished and carpeted for him.”
