Refers to Montagu's telegram of 6 June regarding the Prince of Wales's visit. The non-co-operation agitation is now less active. The recantation of the Ali brothers has, he thinks, had a damping effect on the Khilafat supporters and the Gandhi movement, notwithstanding Mohammed Ali's explanation of his apology. Sapru, Shafi, and Malaviya also think the situation improved. Gandhi is not succeeding in obtaining support and money. Butler is dissatisfied with the position in the United Provinces, and wishes to proceed with prosecutions against the Independent and others; the Government of India will decide on their policy on Friday. Is concerned at the number of youths in gaol for lesser offences, and favours releasing them upon expressions of regret and promises of future good behaviour. So long as Gandhi pursues his present policy of less virulence and refrains from preaching active hatred of the Government, no action should be taken by the Government; but prosecutions should be instituted wherever speeches are made inciting to violence, or whenever the agents of the non-co-operationist movement lie about Government action or preach hatred of it. It is not always easy to distinguish between speeches denouncing Government policy and thus exciting disaffection against it, and speeches containing serious mis-statements, accompanied by incitement to hatred, but he recommends prosecution only in the latter case at present.

6 Duke Street, Adelphi.—Discusses the drafting of a patent for a telegraphic receiving instrument.

Transcript

Decr 18. 1867.
6 Duke St Adelphi.

Dear Thomson

The date by which the ink recording patent must be completed is the 23d of January. but the drawings should be begun at once. We must clearly not trouble Varley any more, I am afraid he really is ill.

I will draw up a short specification of the mirror galvanometer as adapted for a speaking instrument and submit it to your criticism. I do not think the patent need be identical with the Newfoundland patent. I should propose to call the patent an improved form of telegraphic receiving instrument or some such title.

This would leave the use of a reflecting galvanometer quite free—in the States. If we do not do this I fear we may be defeated by the manufacture or import of instruments which we cannot keep out by establishing a custom house service of our own and that when men have once got the patent instmt they will say they may use it as they like and that the instruments are in common use for many purposes besides telegraphy so that even if we did get a verdict it would be for a merely nominal sum.

My idea of the true patent is as if the Morse having been the common telegraphic instmt and galvanometers or detectors in common use for testing, some one has found out that the common detector could be used as a single needle instmt.

We might have drawn up the following laconic patent. “I use the ordinary detector as a receiving instrument, the the letters of the alphabet being indicated by one or more deflections on each side of the zero point”. I apprehend this would have been a valuable and valid patent.
