- Title:
- Letter No.596 of 1870 from Colonel Sir William Lockyer Merewether, The Commissioner in Sind, Commissioner's Office, Kurrachee [Karāchi] to His Excellency the Right Honorable Sir William Robert Seymour Vesey Fitzgerald, Governor and President in Council, Bombay
- Scope & Content:
-
Letter enclosing a letter from Colonel Robert Phayre which Merewether feels is exceedingly improper and disrespectful in its tone and that he has felt it necessary to add remarks to the letter to demonstrate the Colonel's continued misunderstanding of the situation and the different documents he has quoted from.
Enclosed with the letter is No.1260 of 1870 from Colonel Phayre, to Colonel Merewether, 3 September 1870, in which the Colonel defends his position and his attitudes towards Khelat [Kalāt] and Captain Charles Henry Harrison (The Political Agent at Khelat) including giving his understanding of the history of Khelat and how that applied to the present situation. Alongside each paragraph is a counter-explanation from Colonel Merewether, most of which either give fuller explanations of the correspondence cited or highlight areas where the Colonel has made assumptions and suppositions without having any evidence to support them.
