- Title:
- Letter from Mayo to Argyll
- Scope & Content:
- Situation in Afghanistan; Yaqub Khan has taken Herat, with Persian connivance contrary to their undertakings not to countenance any attack by Yaqub on his father, Sher Ali, whose throne and life are now in danger; Mayo defends his decision not to persuade Sher Ali to adopt Yaqub as his heir which would have been interference with possibly dangerous consequences; mission sent by Holkar to England, and payments being received by its members; Sir Dinkar Rao (Member, Legislative Council, and formerly Chief Minister of Gwalior) has told Holkar he was ill advised to send mission; Holkar states Hamilton led him to think he was entitled to reward; Mayo deplores way in which English adventurers impose on Indian Princes; Wahabi trials; system of divided military command [between three Presidencies] will sooner or later produce disaster – as illustrated by request of Madras Govt for issue of un-lubricated cartridges for use by troops issued with Enfield rifle, thus raising, without any reference to Mayo or Govt of India, dangerous question of "greased cartridges".
