Under orders of His Excellency tne Viceroy and Governor General
of India in Council I bare tne honour to again call your attention
to tne correspondence on tne subject of your interference wi tn
affairs of tne mainland of Guttur and in particular tne town of
Zobarah, vis. nay letters dated 2nd Zilkaada I29l(l2th December 1874)
and 4th Safer 1292 ( 12th March 1875). From your letter dated tne
lt)th ^ai p>t 1292 (23 rd ’farch 1875 last) 1 apprehended tnat you nad
failed to realise the full meaning of the communications I had
atfireased to you on t his subject and the importance to yourself
of entirely dissevering yourself from tne affairs of tne mainland,
interference in which might any day lead you into complications.
I therefore addressed you a further c omiaunicat ion dated the 23rd
Safer 1292 (31st March 1875). I cannot aoubt tnat you must nave
fully compr.nended no* tne Yie*s and advise whicn I have tendered you
ty order of the Government of India.
But notwithstanding this it appears that you still take
proceedings with regard to Zobarah which obviously entangle you in
tne affairs of the nn inland*
As then the advice you received through me must nave been
luite understood by you, and as you do not as yet appear to nave
fully asided by it, it becomes necessary under orders of tne Oovem-
*•»* of India to explain to you as clearly as possible tnat if you
4..14. to persist in a course opposed to the advice of tne
**«rnm.nt of India and are tnereby involved in complications on
“‘•mainland, tne consequences will be upon yourself, *n d t no
3t iti«h Government will hold themselves free to taice such measures
