Docketed “Arrival there after a voyage of 6 months. Detained there in consequence of the death of the Nabob of Oude. Has now orders to proceed to Lucknow. Two boxes of the engine deficient and two of a 6 horse engine sent instead. The boxes all much injured and the polished goods rusty. Recommends stronger ones in future and different packing. Probability that the new Nabob of Oude may not want the engine. Proposals of erecting it in that case at Calcutta. Has been applied to for particulars of an engine to raise water for Caluctta, of which he wants estimate. Wants estimates of small engines for inidgo mills. Favourable state of his health and handsome allowance from the Company.”
