Also discussed is a letter received from Major Gunning regarding his appointment, and further correspondence with Major Charles Henry Clay regarding his impropriety in reflecting upon the Viceroy's appointment and exercise of patronage and stating that appointments in Mhairwarra [Merwāra] and Meywar were treated with differing circumstances and relied on Pelly's recommendations.
