I am prepared with the new arrangements, and feel sure that the system will work well, and have the Governor-General's approval.

I can explain it in a few words, and show the details in a small Table all ready for transmission when called for.
We shall have the royal family, the court, and people with us, with the exception of the minister and the favourites, who are in league with him, and those who share in the fruits of their corruption.
Fifteen lacs are spoken of as the means ready to get either me out of the way or put a stop to all attempts of improvement for the present.
I have in my public letter mentioned seven lacs as the average annual perquisites of the minister--they are at present at least twelve.
Yours sincerely, (Signed) W.H.SLEEMAN.
To Sir H.M.Elliot, K.C.B., &c.
