- Title:
- Letter from Argyll to Mayo
- Scope & Content:
- Despatch on local cesses [i.e. taxes or rates] is being sent which it approves provided they are levied on all landowners with interest in the soil, and not just zamindars; also states opinion they should be levied on all immovable property, not just land; sees some Bengal regiments have been consulted about using greased cartridges with Enfield rifle; is assured that idea of consulting troops would not arise in Madras Army; believes anecdotes against Madras Army could be matched by similar stories against Bengal Army; India cannot evade paying charges for naval services in Indian waters – resurrecting Indian navy would be more expensive; pleased at Durand's appointment as Lt-Governor of Punjab; while admitting right to raise education rate, home authorities think it prudent not to do so at present in Lower Bengal when landowners are being hit by high income tax; rate for roads is obvious necessity.
