Letter from Major Charles Kenneth Mackenzie Walter, In charge, Agent Governor General's Office, Rajputana [Rājasthān], Abu to Lieutenant-Colonel Owen Tudor Burne, Private Secretary to His Excellency the Viceroy
- Scope & Content:
-
Letter enclosing a memorandum, dated 6 September 1876, for the attention of His Excellency the Viceroy (Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Second Baron Lytton), giving his views on the personal concessions and acts of grace that would be suitable for the Chiefs of Rajputana [Rājasthān] at the forthcoming Imperial Assesmblage at Delhi.
The memorandum includes details of the existing number of gun salutes for each Chief, as well as information on those Chief's and local rulers who have in the past had their number of gun salutes reduced and the reasons behind this; the Chief's likely to be invited, and surmising which of those would attend and the giving likely reasons such as ill-health for those he believes unlikely to attend.
The memorandum concludes by recommending different personal concessions and acts of grace for the Chiefs mentioned, along with explanations of why some are likely to be more well received than others.
The letter and memorandum have been subject to a number of undated pencil annotations in the margins, which appear to be in the handwriting of Lewis Pelly, giving his additional thoughts on comments on the information provided by Major Walter.
