Description

These volumes contain confidential printed abstracts of letters received in London from the Governor General (Viceroy) of India in Council covering all departments of the Government of India, and of letters received from senior officials in certain areas outside India. The abstracts were printed in London in series and bound into annual volumes with indexes. The most regular series, produced more or less weekly, were 'Letters received from India', 'Military Letters received from India' and 'Secret Letters received from India' (until 1883); other abstracts were produced less frequently and for shorter periods.
