Letter from Gajarajsing Thapa to Brian Houghton Hodgson containing Information about the translation of the contents of Hodgson's note for Jung Bahadur, possibly containing a question relating to Nepal's military help and meeting with Lord Canning. He sends Jung Bahadur's acknowledgement and thanks for Hodgson's good wishes and generosity towards Nepal and himself. Jung Bahadur offers military help to the British Government in India and wishes to get information from Hodgson about whether the British government requires assistance from Nepal or not. He is ready to go in support of the British government with his troops to Lucknow or any other places that Lord Canning might suggest. Gajaraj hopes to accompany Jung Bahadur in his visit to Calcutta as interpreter or translator and if that happens he hopes to have a meeting with Hodgson in Calcutta. He writes about the unsettled situation in the border areas including in the Motihari, Gorakhpur and Patna areas and a description of the Gorkha troop of 3000 soldiers and their fight on their way from Gorakhpur to Benares at or around Azimgarh. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 3 September 1857.
