Letter from Thomas George Montgomerie to Brian Houghton Hodgson. He writes that he hopes Hodgson has received his last Trans-Himalayan report. He then writes further of the report and of the explorers in Nepal and that he had to suppress much of the material collected in Nepal as the Nepal leaders do not like the English getting new information. He writes that the Residents of Nepal are generally too timid in gleaning information but that he has been working quietly with his native explorers.
