Minutes of a consultation headed by the Hon Roger Drake which met to deliberate the terms of employment of Colonel Forde as Major of Company forces at Fort William.
Scope & Content:
It is possible that these comprise the records of two consultations, one in full on 26 February and extracts of a second on 6 March 1758.
The document relates to the Inland Trade, and especially to arrangements with the Nawabs and the role of the gomestahs. "Mr V" is probably Harry Verelst.
