Description
Excerpt from Lord Clive''s Right Hand Man: A Memoir of Colonel Francis Forde
I was first tempted to write this Memoir as a matter of family interest and as a means of employing my spare time, during the long hours of a tropical summer.
In the valuable library of the Royal Artillery Mess at St. Thomas''s Mount, Madras, I found most of the authorities Whom I have quoted.
The Madras Government has also most courteously assisted me to a great extent, in causing to have copied several hitherto um published letters written by Colonel Forde, and which letters are deposited in the record room of Fort St. George. I have also received a large amount of help from the India Office of Whose records I have made very free use.
