No. 22: Letter from Mr Robert Vernon Smith
- Scope & Content:
-
Repeats the information sent in his letter via Bombay. An immense row has sprung up because Vernon Smith did not tell Ellenborough about Canning's letter explaining the draft Proclamation. He was not aware that it was the custom for Ex-Ministers to show all their private letters to their successors. He was anxious not to show Canning's letters to Ellenborough because he knew that Ellenborough's greatest wish was to recall Canning or rather force him to resign. Although Vernon Smith has been so bullied about it, he can never regret having protected Canning as far as possible from Ellenborough. It was very unfortunate that Lord Lansdowne unwisely mentioned it to Granville and Granville introduced it into his speech. No-one of any sense believes that the letter would have made any difference.
