- Title:
- ‘Secret Letters received, by way of Marseilles, June 14.1856’
- Scope & Content:
-
This bundle consists of summaries, and partial transcripts, of secret letters received from both the Governor General of India (14 June and 3 May 1856, Numbers 18-19) and the Government of Bombay (10 and 12 May 1856, Numbers 34-38). The amount of detail for each entry therefore varies.
The despatches from the Governor General (folios 9-10) discuss the matter of instructions to be issued to the Government of Bombay authorising that government to deploy forces against Persia if authorised to do by the Secret Committee; the Government of India's opposition to the use of Herat as a justification for conflict with Persia is outlined. They also report on the signing of a peace treaty between Nepal and Thibet [Tibet].
The section from Bombay (folios 11-12) includes measures to be taken to remove the Al Ali from Demaun, naval deployments against the slave trade, the submission of the Murree [Marri Baloch] tribe to the Khan of Kelat [Kalat], and a telegraphic report that the Persians are besieging Herat.
