Lord Curzon of Kedleston (1899-1905): 1904 (25 April) a personal letter written from Simla in a secretarial hand on bifolium embossed with the Viceregal royal arms in gold, addressed to Her Highness Nawab Sultan Janan Begam of Bhopal and signed "Curzon". The letter thanks the Begum for her letter asking to call on the Viceroy in Simla before he left India, he suggests, " ... It would give Your Highness an unnecessary amount of trouble and discomfort to make this long and tedious journey from Bhopal to Simla at this season of the year", he adds, " ... my train shall be stopped at Bhopal station at 3-35 p.m. on 29th April in order that, if the hour will not be inconvenient to your Highness, I may have the pleasure of meeting you there". The letter is in fine condition with some needle holes in the left margin. This is accompanied by a Persian letter which is believed to be a translation. Photo
