- Title:
- ‘Secret Letters received, by way of Marseilles July 17.1856
- Scope & Content:
-
This bundle consists of summaries, and partial transcripts, of secret letters received from both the Governor General of India (3 June 1856, Number 1856, Number 23) and the Government of Bombay (10 June 1856, Numbers 41-44). The amount of detail for each entry therefore varies.
The despatch from the Governor General (folios 39-42r) is concerned with discrepancies in reports of the occupation of Ghorian and Herat by Persian forces. It also contains discussion about whether Mahomed Yoosoof [Mohammad Yusuf Khan, Regent of Herat] is collusion with the Persian Government.
The section from Bombay (folios 42v-45) contains material on measures for the suppression of the importation of slaves into the Arabian Coast, evasion by dhows of the blockade of Berbera, and a letter from Hart Sahib relaying recent events in Herat and requesting British assistance.
