If he had given this same order for the meeting at Burnsides to the two extras, at the same time, all would have been well, except that the extras would have been delayed some fifteen minutes, but this he was unable to do.

To send home a report six months after his arrival in India, concerning all information that he shall have collected, on the strength, the position, and the feeling of the different peoples of India, as well as on the strength and position of the different English establishments; ... his views, and hopes that he might have of finding support, in case of war, so as to be able to maintain himself in the Peninsula....
