He has been with you some time, has he not ?" "Yes, sir, for upwards of six years.

He accompanied me from Calcutta to Nagpore, when I went on a mission to the rajah, whom it was desirable to keep neutral until the war in Mysore was brought to an end.

He was at Assaye, and journeyed in disguise across the country with me, to carry the news of that victory to General Lake.
He took part with me in the cavalry charge at Laswaree, and in the retreat of Colonel Monson's column." "That is quite good enough," Colonel Ochterlony said.

"But I should think that it would be the shortest and best way for you to recommend him direct to Lord Lake, who would be able to put him in orders at once.

At the same time, I will send to Calcutta a recommendation that some special reward should be granted to him.
There will be a large number of forfeitures of the estates of those who have sided with Scindia and Holkar.
