- Title:
- Letter from Hobhouse to Dalhousie
- Scope & Content:
- Policy towards Nizam of Hyderabad – interference by General Fraser (Resident at Hyderabad) in its affairs approved by home authorities because, had they really wished to annex his territories, they would have left him to 'work out his own ruin' and create situation in which absorption in 'the great Empire' would be only solution; not worthwhile for Board of Control to reform prolixity of Court of Directors' despatches; threatened attacks by Thompson and Joseph Hume (former East India Company service, radical politician, failed in attempts to become East India Company Director) regarding Satara case; leak of papers in that case; problem of home charges - further half million sent for from India its 'coffers being full to overflowing'; Hobhouse's reluctant to have recourse to Chancellor of Exchequer or Bank of England 'until the Indian supply fails us', and objects to issue of bonds in England; Hardinge's expectation of balancing Indian budget may have been too optimistic – asks Dalhousie's view; notices in House of Commons' books requiring information on railway and furloughs questions; appointment of Lord Falkland as Governor of Bombay – a safe pair of hands; Hobhouse's low opinion of 'Bombay clique' and deplorable state of that Presidency; Dalhousie should insist on frequent reports from Bombay and must not allow transfer of Sind to it to abrogate his overall control; PS: will avoid calling for half million for home charges if possible.
