Private and confidential letter from J Richardson, Lucknow, to Peter Freyer, relating to a friendly luncheon he had with Sir Charles Crosthwaite, at Bareilly, where they discussed 'your case'. In the event of Freyer returning to India he reckons that he would be promoted as befitted his length of service and reputation. Unfortunately Freyer's claim to further remuneration above the 20,000 rupees approved by the Council of Regency, has stopped the payment of that sum. He doubts if he is justified in telling Freyer all this before a final decision has been made regarding the 20,000 rupees. He briefly refers to the trial of the General's murderess at Rampur and also states that he is fairly certain that Freyer will get his leave. Until he knows this for certain he cannot ask the Lieutenant Governor to give Moradabad to Willie Deane. He jokingly offers him £5,000 for his lakh, tells of having met Col Vincent at the Lieut Governors and calls the young Nawab a 'skunk'.
