Notes
Rivett-Carnac gives the place of writing as East India House, which was located in London. He was elected as a director of the East India Company in 1827, making it likely that this letter was written after that date, but there is no additional information about the year this letter was written on the item.
Rivett-Carnac's correspondent may have been William Cabell, who was on the India Board.
From the Ford Collection.
