- Content
Letter regarding the movements of Pelly's camp and his intention, on reaching Jeypore [Jaipur] to travel to Calcutta to see an occulist as his eyes are worsening.
The letter also discusses matters with Saunders; an unpleasant and delicate discussion between Captain Roberts and the Maharaja of Bhurtpore [Bharatpur] which may require Pelly to visit there in order to resolve it; Colonel Macdonald's decision to retire at the end of the year and the vacancy it will cause as well as Pelly's hopes that there can be a change of officers to new stations.
The addendum to the letter discusses the departure of the Beynon and praising both his work with Pelly and her work in looking after the household and acting as scribe.
