- Abstract: This bundle consists of summaries, and partial transcripts, of secret letters received from both the President in Council (22 March 1855, Numbers 20-21) and the Government of Bombay (2 April 1855, Numbers 26-28). The amount of detail for each entry therefore varies.The subject matter of the letters from the Governor General (folios 91-94) includes instructions to Major Allen to adopt conciliatory measures towards tribes along the frontier between British India and Burma, and an attempted assassination attempt against a European officer in Afghanistan.The section from Bombay (folios 95-96) is mainly concerned with Britain's policy at Aden: the line to be taken with the Foutheli Chief in response to his attempt to stop traffic to Aden, and the facilitation of trade with Abyssinia/Ethiopia.Physical description: 1 item (6 folios)
