Letter from the Respectful Memorial of Sudashiv Rao Guicowar, alias Rao Saheb, a resident of the City of Baroda to His Excellency the Right Honourable Thomas George Baring, Baron Northbrook of Stratton, Viceroy and Governor General of India in Council
- Scope & Content:
-
Three copies of a letter from Sudashiv Rao regarding the recent actions of his uncle Mulhar Rao Guicowar (Gaekwar) and his hopes that such actions would not reflect badly on the rest of the Royal Family, and that should a successor be required that the Government would look first to the legal heirs.
The letter goes on to describe in detail the ancestry of the Gaekwar's family, detailing the various generations and legitimate heirs, before going on to put himself forward as a candidate for the succession should it become available.
The letter also contains a genealogical table of the Gaekwar's family.
Each copy of the letter has the printed date of February 1875, however two of the copies have had this date crossed through and replaced with 6 March 1875.
