Contention in Bengal and Nabob Question Recalled
A long letter from Colonel Caillaud discusses policy in Bengal, urging firm support for the Nabob, balancing Dutch intrigues and Marathas. He outlines risks of revolts, the need to maintain Company interests, and strategic patience before any change. He also references plans by Col. Clive and Hastings to stabilize governance and trade while preventing Nabob independence.
