Description (What the record is about)
-
Letter (holograph).
Note: the letter was originally dated 15 January, 1842. The date has been crossed through and "February" substituted (subsequently, in another hand). The substituted month of February would appear to be correct, in the light of the comment at the close of the letter to Selina Shakespear of 4 February when Shakespear refers to writing again "when I join General Pollock". The present letter (15 February) begins by referring to a letter to Selina "sent on the 8th" (the letter of 4 February?) and then mentions receiving "a note from General Pollock" requesting he "join speedily". Shakespear "hoped to reach Peshawar in four days". The letter continues with a record of Shakspear's journery to Peshawar.
