Bereik en inhoud
'Extract of a letter addressed to Colonel Sykes by Capt. Kittoe, dated Benares (Varanasi), 21 January 1849' in which he apologises for not writing sooner but he had delayed in the hope of sending more discoveries. In this he is disappointed but goes to Raja Griha and hopes that will change. He has for several months been examining 'a fine collection of Inscriptions from Bundelkhand and Gwalior' sent by Captain Ellis but he is finding difficulties in interpreting them. He is also working on an inscription from Sarnath. He describes what he has discovered so far. Kittoe hopes to be able to go into Nepal to look at Buddhist temples. He writes some of what he's learnt about Buddhist, Hindu and Jain temples. Kittoe also hopes that when he has finished work at the College he will be able to visit the Western Caves. He is not sending his report awaiting more illustrations. Finally, he writes of the work of Captain A. Cunningham and how Kittoe thinks he is in error.
