- Title:
- Letter from Northcote to Lawrence
- Scope & Content:
- Expenditure on Abysinnian is right – 'a failure would be unspeakably disastrous'; faulty handling by Col A Fytche (Chief Commissioner of British Burma) of Burma scandal; decision not to stop Godavari works – he agrees with Napier that such works should be charged to income and be regarded like roads which open up country but are not remunerative; Fitzgerald states personal relations with Lawrence good, but gives examples of unnecessarily minute control of Bombay expenditure by Supreme Govt; risk of Secretary of State saying something which has unintended effects in India; hopes Lawrence and William Massey (Finance member of Governor-General's Council) will not make decisions on Indian financial arrangements for next year until they have seen Northcote's suggestions in letter to Massey; possibility of organising Sanitary Dept of India Office; conversations with Florence Nightingale on sanitary administration; financial proposals made to him by representatives of Orissa Company regarding works in Bihar.
