- Title:
- Letter from Charles Joseph Pattissier, Marquis de Bussy, to Earl George Macartney, Governor of Madras, dated camp Mungioupau 24 May 1783
- Scope & Content:
- Replying to Macartney's letter of 11 May, Marquis de Bussy-Castelnau (1718-1785), Governor General of Pondicherry, agrees to the proposed exchange of military and naval prisoners, on the same terms as would be observed in Europe. The exchange should also include Dutch prisoners in British hands. He regrets, though, that it is not in his power to do anything about the prisoners which were handed over to Haidar Ali of Mysore. With modern interpretation by Rex Cowan on a separate sheet.
