The reply to me from the Adjut.Gen. was that no evidence seemed forthcoming in support of my statement ......... I fear it being supposed that I have overstated my case. I have a very great respect for the 90th Officers & liked the men very much too. I have been during this mutiny with many Regiments & have always been glad that I was interpreter to the 90th rather than to any other - The officers were all exceedingly kind to me ........ Kindness met with in such a position makes a deep impression & is never forgotten. I should never cease to regret it were I through this reference of mine to be suspected of any approach to untruthfulness & on such grounds to be come into contempt among my friends ........... I hope it may not be supposed that I think I am entitled to a cross. I have never spoken of the thing without disclaiming any such right save in my first reference to the Adjut. General that was made in such a hurry & scramble as the pilot was about to leave ........ I was very angry at the time .............. if anyone deserved a cross it was Rattray who all day long with a few men in the rear of the 78th. the most trying position possible, so was Tinling with the heavy guns bringing up the rear of the force on the 25th ............who was as brave as any man & braver than most ............ I hope the 90th may not suffer on this campaign and that you may all have more comforts than in your first in India ...... The people seem more than ever against us. They have been impregnated with false-hoods that tell against us ......... I hope Col. Purnell yourself & the officers of the 90th that I know are very well ...."
