- Title:
- Letter from Captain Thomas Perronet Thompson, 17th Light Dragoons, Commander and Agent, to Francis Warden, Chief Secretary to the Government, Bombay
- Scope & Content:
-
The letter describes in detail a failed joint military venture with the Imam of Muscat, Sa‘īd bin Sultān Āl Sa‘īd, against the Beni Bow Ali [Banī Bū ‘Alī] tribe in Oman. The letter covers the preparations, the defeat, and subsequent retreat of the expedition to Soor [Ṣūr]. The author outlines the measures he believes are required in order to return to the offensive and fit out the detachment at Deristan for what he understands to be its intended purpose. Also described in the letter is the case of a boy taken from Bombay five years previously, and forced into slavery; this is used as evidence of the Beni Bow Ali tribe's piratical activities.
The Captain further outlines the case of two officers he has returned to Bombay; he intends to charge them for deserting their troops. He also makes special commendations for the services of Assistant Surgeon Fallow.
