Historia administrativa
The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Sir Henry Thomas Colebrooke on the 15th March 1823. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV on the 11th August 1824 'for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia'. It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas.

Copy of a letter from Col. Hoysted, Secretary of Royal Asiatic Society, to Major J.R. Cunningham to thank him for the material, on behalf of the Council. He first apologises for the delay in responding because, "The offices have been closed for the Christmas Holidays, and have been rather deranged by A.R.P. measures and the necessity of sending our treasures away to a place of safety". He states the material, "will be placed, with great pleasure, in the Society's Library, where it will be of value to students, who will be interested in the great changes you have reported upon".
