- Scope & Content:
-
This item consists of copies of a Political Despatch from the Government of India Foreign Department to the Secretary of State for India, dated 2 October 1873 and received by the India Office Political Department on 27 October 1873, forwarding copies of a letter from the Bombay [Mumbai] Government reporting that no receipt was taken from Moosa Yoosuf [Yusuf Ali Kenadid?], the Regent of Mijjerteyn [Majeerteen] country for the $873 paid to him as compensation for the dhow captured by the Daphne in 1869. The letter forwards a copy of a letter from the Political Resident, Aden, in which he states it is 'not customary to take receipts from Somali Chiefs' and that since 'Somali is not a written language' giving a receipt for a cash payment 'would not be understood'. The despatch is in reply to the Secretary of State for India's Political No. 76 of 4 June 1873.
