With reference to Government Resolution No. 5238, dated 7lh instant,
I have the honor to acquaint you that having communicated the purport
thereof in a yad to the Durbar A public or private audience held by a high-ranking British colonial representative (e.g. Viceroy, Governor-General, or member of the British royal family). , 1 have to-day received the accompanying reply.

Translation of a yad from His Highness the Gaekwar of Baroda, No. 1610, dated 12th Sep
tember 1874.
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. yad No. 1691, dated 9th September 1874, with reference to
certain officers of the British Government required for the service of this
State is received.
In accordance therewith communication has been opened with the officers.
But I cannot help expressing my extreme regret that after having communi
cated through the Resident my great anxiety on the subject, I have been so
unexpectedly disappointed. The time allowed to introduce reforms is very
short, and when every hour is important to me, I sincerely trust that the
Bombay Government will reconsider their decision, and give me their cordial
help by sending the officers I have asked for, as on special duty, without
delay. I shall not object to any special arrangements as to salary and percen
tage of pension which the Bombay Government may think proper in preference
to the terms I have proposed in my yad No. 1524, dated 28th August 1874.
