In Play
Chapter 4, Session 11 (10 October 1814) — named, not present. At Hugh’s evening gathering, Captain George Drury described him to Thomas Wyndham as the key figure to approach regarding engineering assignments at Baranagar — an old India hand who values the chain of command and keeps a quiet district.
Chapter 4, Session 12 (12 October 1814) — named again, not met. Ashworth wrote a letter of introduction naming him as the recipient, to keep Major Renwick in Calcutta rather than deployed to Nepal. Freddy carries the letter; it has not yet been delivered.
