I expect to leave this in three or four days, and may
perhaps call off the Kurrachee harbour for any de
spatches you may wish to send off to us, but it would
cause too much delay to land, I cannot therefore have
the pleasure of seeing you for the present.
I have, &c.,
J. O utram, Lieut.-General.
To the President of the
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, Bushire, \ftth June, 1857.
I last addressed you from Bagdad on the 8th.
Next day I left Bagdad, and I arrived here on the 13th,
idem, since when a mail has arrived from Bombay, bring
ing me a letter from Lord Elphinstone, dated 3rd inst.,
in which he communicates the following telegraphic
message from Lord Canning, z. e., "Write to Sir James
Outram, that I wish him to return to India imme
diately, and the same to General Jacob—we want all our
best men here."
Having made every requisite arrangement to transfer
my command, &c., to General Jacob, I purpose leaving
in a steamer to-morrow for Bombay, with General
Lugard, and some other officers of the staff, and shall
call at Kurrachee to consult with Mr. Frere, as to
whether the presence of General Jacob is urgently
required in Scinde ; for it would, I think, be very im
politic to remove him from Bushire at present. While
he remains, the most perfect confidence is entertained
by the troops, which might not be the case were the
command to devolve on the next senior officer, and as it
is possible that the urgency for all the Bombay troops
may become so pressing in India, as to compel the
Government to order the evacuation of Bushire, even
before the conditions of the treaty have been actually
