- Title:
- Letter from the Secretary to the Government of India to the Secretary to the Government of Bombay, enclosing Instructions from the Governor General to the Naval Commander in Chief
- Scope & Content:
-
This part consists of a letter to the Secretary to the Government of Bombay (John Pollard Willoughby) from the Secretary to the Government of India (Thomas Herbert Maddock), enclosing an extract of a despatch from the Governor-General of India to the Naval Commander in Chief. In the extract the Naval Commander in Chief is requested to send part of the fleet to rendezvous at Aden, as in the Governor General’s view the presence of one of the larger frigates in the Persian Gulf would be of great advantage, for the maintenance of British influence in the Eastern coasts of Northern Africa and in the African possessions of the Imaum [Imam] of Muscat. The Governor General also states in the extract that he wishes for a ‘respectable’ naval force to visit Mocha, for the protection of British interests, and he proposes that the one of the iron steamships of the Nemesis class should be sent to China, and that the steamship Queen should return to India, to Bombay.
The letter from Maddock to Pollard requests that the Governor General’s wish for the rendezvous at Aden be communicated to the officer commanding the Squadron.
