Extracts of Letters from Brian Houghton Hodgson to his father, Brian Hodgson, dated 28th June 1843 and 24th July 1843 in which he writes of his position in Nepal. In the letter of the 28 June, Hodgson suggests to his father that he will soon have to leave Nepal and hasten home. He suggests that "Lord E. with talent and industry to do great good, spoils all by his prejudices & by his precipitation & by his arrogance". Again Hodgson writes, "Lord E. wants to persuade himself & others that I am unpopular here: a monstrous delusion or fraud". On the reverse of this letter is a "Translation of a Kharitah from the Maha Rajah of Nepal to the R.H. Lord Ellenborough" which praises Hodgson's ability and expresses the Maha Rajah's concern about Hodgson's desire to return to England. The letter, dated 24 July 1843, in which he writes of a meeting with the Maha Rajah and their subsequent conversation regarding the Governor-General and the political situation. Further extracts relate the extent of Hodgson's support as shown by the number of Chiefs that had attended; and that he will be unable to leave Nepal before December due to the malaria. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 28 June - 24 July 1843.
