- Title:
- Letter from Canning to Stanley
- Scope & Content:
- Arrived in Calcutta on 24th; enquiries at Benares led him to make larger modifications to disarming measures than previously intended; policy in handling rebels taking refuge in Nepal; excellent relations with that country despite attitude of newspapers and some English officers; military operations in Nepal should be as short as possible – 'beef eating Englishmen and plundering Sikhs will not make a favourable impression upon our neighbours'; Hamilton says central India is clear of rebels; prominent leaders thought to be in Nepal including Begum of Oudh; Canning is indifferent whether she stays there or makes submission in India; if she submits he will be able to release King of Oudh – latter can reside at Garden Reach or wherever he pleases outside Oudh 'the moment her submission and that of the Boy King is declared, and the Dynastic party at an end'; problem of finding suitable reward for Nizam – restoration of Assigned Districts would be best, not least in showing British occasionally willing to release grasp on their acquisitions.
