- Description:
- Abstract: This bundle consists of summaries, and partial transcripts, of secret letters received from both the Governor General of India (8 February 1856, Numbers 5-7) and the Government of Bombay (16 February 1856, Numbers 14-17). The amount of detail for each entry therefore varies.The despatches from the Governor General (folios 73-80) are concerned with the Government of India's policy over the treatment of Sheea [Shia] in India, the Government of India's refusal to officially congratulate Mahamed Yoosoof [Mohammad Yusuf Khan] over his ascendency at Herat – as suggested by Charles Augustus Murray, HM Minister to Persia – pending instructions from Britain, and a progress report on the Nepalese-Tibetan War (1855-1856).The section from Bombay (folios 81-84) discusses the despatch of ships, but not troops, to the Persian Gulf, and includes a report on the North-West Frontier of Sind. It also includes brief updates regarding Bunder-Abbass [Bandar-e ʻAbbās] and Aden.Physical description: 1 item (12 folios)
