- Title:
- Letter from Dalhousie to Hobhouse
- Scope & Content:
- Repeats desire not to cause embarrassment over Delhi question, and will send despatch by next mail to allay Directors' 'irritation'; repeats appreciation of Hobhouse's support; believes he could answer all Directors' arguments and outlines his reasons for nevertheless giving way to their view; hopes Court will not think the worse of him for doing so, and that Hobhouse will not mind after having supported him so strongly; mismanagement of Sikkim affair, including fact that 'General Young like an old woman, as almost every officer above a Colonel in this service is, has declared it impracticable to advance'; Fraser (Resident at Hyderabad) is trying 'with provoking pertinacity' to use minor plundering raids in Berar as reason for assuming government of Hyderabad – it must probably come to that in the end; punitive expedition against Afridis in Kohat pass achieved little; trouble with such frontier tribes must be expected – it does not mean Punjab is up in arms; refers to role of Napier, and discusses policy for dealing with them; believes stoppage of salt mines in their hills may have caused latest outbreak and he has called for explanations; mutiny of 66th Native Infantry; can find no grounds for rumoured disaffection of 41st N.I; imprisonment of Sikh sirdars and Mulraj – Napier sought a free pardon for the latter; has received friendly letter in English from Duleep Singh; having re-read his minute on Satara realises it is 'scandalously ill expressed' and could therefore bear the construction that no adoptions by Hindu Princes should be recognised; he meant only that adoptions should not be recognised if they had not been completed by obtaining assent of Paramount Power, whether through neglect or accidentally; Turton has got two more years' imprisonment from Sir Lawrence Peel (Chief Justice of Bengal).
