- Letter from Dalhousie to Hobhouse
- Scope & Content:
- Sends minute answering Napier's complaints; does not think even Ellenborough could countenance Napier's claims; hopes Hobhouse and Directors will judge Dalhousie thoroughly right or thoroughly wrong; if Napier has written to Wellington asks Hobhouse to show latter his side of story; everyone in India is glad to see him go; Napier incapable of filling second place; had hoped to finish a great war and be selected to govern conquered country – disappointed in both 'he has done nothing but wage a perpetual war of disparagement against every thing he found, Civil or Military, the Company and its servants, and all its concerns'; further comments on Napier's behaviour and failure, and motives in seizing on allowances Order to get away without loss of face; has not openly quarrelled with Napier; unless in position where he would be practically independent, his impatience of control make harmonious cooperation between him and Govt hopeless; he could, and at first Dalhousie thought he would, do much good, but he has spoilt his own handiwork; glad Hobhouse approves his handling of Afridis in refusing to harry crops and homes, refusing anything till they submitted, and giving them easy terms as soon as they did; those who know them say they will keep agreement and they declare themselves satisfied on salt mine question; has sent strong letter to Council on their handling of Sikkim question; urges Hobhouse to get Treasury to settle prize question.
