'Extract of a letter from Capt. Kittoe, addressed to Colonel Sykes, dated Gya, 2 March 1848' in which he writes that he fears little will be done that year as the weather is too hot and the authorities need to give permission. He sends with the letter some copies of inscriptions he has already done. He gives some details of these inscriptions and their locations. He also writes that he has 'a beauty of a model of a Siva temple of the 8th or 9th century which I promised at Benares'. He will restore that and others before sending to Sykes. He writes that he is reading H.H. Wilson's 'Vishnu Purana' in which he finds many of his own opinions confirmed.
