(Edward Law, 1790-1871, Governor-General of India 1841-1844, from 1818 2nd Baron, from 1844 1st Earl) saying that he had “looked with great anxiety for the effect of your speech on the Ministers, but felt disappointed: there is no frankness. We must still await... before any clear judgement can be formed as to the termination of the troubles but certainly the present aspect is not encouraging... they are not ‘going off like hares in a wood’ as the Observer says. Have you spoken to Lord Goderich? I feel a great desire to have his air, but also a great fear of appearing to ask it basely & be refused...” with a postscript signed with initials that “Since writing, the enclosed letter from a soldier in the ranks has reached me, perhaps it may interest you...”, 3 sides 8vo., no place, 14th July
