- Title:
- ‘Secret Letters received, by way of Marseilles, August 30:1856’
- Scope & Content:
-
This bundle consists of summaries, and partial transcripts, of secret letters received from both the Governor General of India (17 July 1856, Numbers 27-30) and the Government of Bombay (28-29 July 1856, Numbers 53-55). The amount of detail for each entry therefore varies.
The despatches from the Governor General (folios 64-68) are concerned with the position of Dost Mahomed [Dost Mohammad Khan, Amir of Afghanistan] – including reports of illness and rumours of death. It also discusses proposals for officially constituted Afghan and British vakils to reside at Peshawar and Cabool [Kabul], and reports on the seizure of Herat by Eesa Khan [Isa Khan Bardorani, Minister-regent].
The section from Bombay (folio 69) contains a report of the Persian Army collecting revenue due to the Khan of Khelat [Kalat], and news from Aden respecting the Foutheli Chief.
