- Title:
- ‘Secret Letters received, by way of Marseilles Sept 18 1855’
- Scope & Content:
-
This bundle consists of summaries, and partial transcripts, of secret letters received from both the Governor General of India (6 and 8 August 1855, Numbers 6-7), the President in Council (8 August 1855, Numbers 44-45), and the Government of Bombay (13 August 1855, Number 55). The amount of detail for each entry therefore varies.
The two letters from the Governor General (folios 55-60r) are directed at the Secret Committee of the Board of Control and urge that a joint Abdali, Oulaki, and British attack should be made against the Foutheli.
The two letters from the President in Council (folios 60v-66r) provide an update on the Nepalese-Thibetan [Tibetan] War, and outline arrangements for the Government of India's diplomatic mission to the Court of Ava – appointment of personnel, arrangements for gifts, and instructions for the envoy.
The section from Bombay (folio 66v) contains a single summary of an update on Turkish Arabia.
