- Content
The letter is acknowledging the receipt of a communication from India dated 13 December 1824, which informed the Resident that the artificers at the Bushire Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. are to have their pay placed on an equal footing to those at Bussorah [Basra]. The letter also states that the carpenters and blacksmiths available locally are 'decidedly inferior' to those from India, and would represent poor value for money; the Bombay Government had queried whether artificers might be best sought from Bushire rather than sent from India.
