Pray excuse this very short note, for I am over
whelmed with work just now.

Board of Control
Formally known as the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India, it was established by an Act of Parliament in 1784 to supervise the activities of the East India Company.
.
M y dear S ir, Mohumra, 8th May, 1857.
Your letter of the 20th and 26th March met me
two days ago at the mouth of the river, on my return
from Bushire.
My official despatch to the address of Lord Clarendon,
dated 2nd instant, will relieve your mind from any
anxiety that may have been caused by my previous
communication, intimating the necessity I then was
under of retaining the troops in their positions until
the treaty had actually received the Shah's ratification.
And Lord Clarendon's correspondence with Lord Wode-
house, now received, satisfies me that I was right in
believing that I should not have been justified in
weakening our forces in Persia until assured of that
consummation.
Happily, on my arrival at Bushire, I obtained that
assurance from the Persian Commander-in-Chief of
Fars, in such form as satisfied me that the official
announcement of the ratification would reach me in
a few days from Bagdad. And I no longer hesitated,
therefore, in taking measures for withdrawing the
troops from Mohumra, and sending back to India such
as are not required to maintain Bushire and Karrack,
pending the fulfilment of the " conditions."
