Bereik en inhoud
Refers to Ronaldshay’s letter of 5 February. There has been a misunderstanding: the terms of the amnesty were designed to give the Viceroy the widest discretion, but the result of the Council meeting attended by Ronaldshay has been to throw the responsibility back on Mon-tagu, citing doubts of Montagu’s support. Assures him that he has always approved of his conduct of Bengal, particularly of the detenues, and believes he has never said anything to cause him to express a lack of confidence. Congratulates him on his conferences.
