About this record

Content

Letter acknowledging receipt of Kemball's previous letter (ff 190-92), and enclosing a copy of letter no.41 of 1852, sent to the Governent of Bombay by Major Atkins Hamerton, Her Majesty's Consul and the Honourable Company's Agent in the dominions of His Highness the Imam of Muscat, dated 20 December 1852. In his letter, Hamerton states that he does not think that the Imam of Muscat's nephew, Mahammed ben Salem, has been involved in the sale of indigo to Bahrain. Hamerton also states that it is plausible that some indigo was recovered from the sea after the plunder, having heard that small quantities of indigo were picked up by several boats in the area.
