- Title:
- Letter from Lawrence to Northcote
- Scope & Content:
- Requirements for companion to Duke of Edinburgh - Col Blane suitable as assistant but not for first place; arrangements for tour suggested by Northcote are suitable; [refers to Northcote's letter of 1 August]; problem of finding employment for Speedy; problem of Alemayo's future employment – Indians in official position 'are very much disparaged' by most Englishmen; an African like Alemayo would encounter even stronger feeling from both English and natives; Lawrence cannot recollect meeting an 'African gentleman, i.e. an educated man of that race, in a good social position in India'; Alemayo cannot aspire to military position or covenanted civil service but something in uncovenanted service might be found for him; harvest prospects poor in northern and central India but flooding in Lower Bengal and round Ahmedabad in Bombay; order restored in Hazara, but cross-border punitive expedition probably necessary.
