He also writes that he has visited the painter who has been ill and who will not go to Hodgson in Darjeeling, nor can the pandit travel at this time. He has also enquired of the Durbar for a Pandit for Hodgson but to no avail. He writes that [Bhawan Shatther] has asked that he write to Hodgson on his behalf as he is likely to lose his Post.
