Draft of a letter from Brian Houghton Hodgson to Sir George MacGregor writing that he is pleased for the country's sake that Jung Bahadur's offer has been accepted. He writes of Jung Bahadur's high energy and talent, his knowledge of positions and his forthcomingness. He reminds MacGregor that Gorkhas eat in the early morning for the whole day so if he wants then to march at 7am, they must be roused at 4am. He advises MacGregor to be cheerful and kind and this will 'carry the Gorkhas'. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 12 December 1857.
