- Abstract: This bundle consists of summaries, and partial transcripts, of secret letters received from both the Governor General of India (14 June 1855, Number 4), the President in Council (16 June 1855, Numbers 36-37) and the Government of Bombay (26 June 1855, Numbers 46-47). The amount of detail for each entry therefore varies.The letter from the Governor General (folio 17) relates to whether the Government of India has the right to confiscate the property of the Ex Nala Thanee Jhunda Kour [Maharani Jind Kaur], and the referral of this question back to England.The section from the President in Council (folios 16v-19r) reports on the progress of the Nepalese army in its invasion of Thibet [Tibet].The dispatches from Bombay – folios 19-24 – focus on Aden; in particular, the question of the line to be taken with the officers of the Assayeas a result of a complaint made by William Marcus Coghlan (Political Resident at Aden), and whether the offer of an alliance against the Foutheli made by Sultan Manafair of the Oulaki should be accepted.Physical description: 1 item (8 folios)
