I hp.ve the honour to refer to your letter Ho: 460 without
date regarding; this Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. 's Trade Report.
2. I fully realise that such reports lose much of their
value if their publication is delayed,but the delay has been
entirely due to the inadequacy of staff,in fact,but for the
assistance oi the newly arrived oru clerk the report would
never have been prepared at ail.
3. It is difficult to oescribe the chaos to which the
English office has been reduced by shortage of staff,and when
I say that bundles of unfiled papers dating from the departure
of Mr.Ghulara Haidar last April have recently come to light,it
will be clear tnat there has been little opportunity to pre
pare lengthy reports unconnected with our daily routine.
4. Unless the extra vernacular office clerk is sanctioned
at his post before tne Bakbah a similar chaos may be
expected in tne vernacular office in the ensuing year.
t have the honour to be
Sir,
7 our Most Obedient Servant
