Scope and content
Letter from Major C. Thoresby, Resident Kathmandu, to Brian Houghton Hodgson. Thoresby writes of his delay in replying before he could give positives news regardng what arrangements were practical. The ChitiKanee Raj has been ill with pains in his loins and in the Residency hospital and therefore not fit to journey to Hodgson. He has also had difficulty in procuring a pandit for Hodgson but has eventually found two. Neither will come alone so it will be necessary for Hodgson to employ both. Thoresby thanks Hodgson for his offer of information on the duties of Resident. He can give Hodgson little information about the Raja as he saw him only once before the Raja's departure for Benares. Thoresby writes that the Raja moved towards Nepal and that he is in contact with other Nepali refugees and exiles. Handwritten letter, 8 sides with accompanying envelope, dated 30 March 1847.
