              Letter from Lancelot Wilkinson, Political Agent at Bhopal, to Brian Houghton Hodgson to thank him for his letter and the accompanying translation of the "Buddha disputation on Caste" which has amazed Wilkinson. The arguments expanded had angered Wilkinson's Pundit. He talks of other manuscripts and states that his own study has been guided by the principle of making them useful for the promotion of education and enquiry. He sends his [Shashces] Copy of the Jain inscription at Sanchees. He wishes to obtain a copy of Arya Bhats Siddhartha. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 11 May 1835.

              Hodgson used much of his time in both Nepal and Darjeeling in research, wanting to discover and understand about the architecture, languages, ethnography, religion, zoology and botany. He collected specimens and manuscripts, and had many drawings made, which he donated to many collections throughout Europe. He was also politically involved during his Residency in Nepal, and also later in England, when he continued to show an active interest in the Indian subcontinent, particularly regarding trade and vernacular education. These Personal Papers reflect these interests and are a record of much of his activity - Hodgson and his wives seemed to have a need to record all his successes. He was also a keen annotator of material, so that most of the printed material also bears his handwritten comments.
