He also writes about Buddhist tantrik drawings and paintings requested by Hodgson and sends condolences for the sudden death of Henry Hodgson with words in praise of Henry's character and a memory of the visit to Henry by Jung Bahadur and his entourage while they were in England. He promises to send samples of mineral water (dagdhi-nāsī) from the mountains of Nepal to Hodgson and requests that Gajaraj Thapa be sent back to Nepal. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated October 1856.
