[261] Sir Harvey Adamson, K.C.S.I., Lieutenant-Governor of Burma, formerly Member of the Council of the Governor-General.
[262] The late Sir Denzil Ibbetson, K.C.S.I., Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab.
[263] The late Sir Edward Baker, K.C.S.I., afterwards Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, whose early death we have had but lately to deplore.
[264] I am aware that he has to obtain the Viceroy’s concurrence; but he has the advantage of the last word.
[265] I need hardly say (as I proposed it) that I regard this as a sound measure.
[267] Some of these officers are Arakanese, one a Talaing; all are natives of Burma.
[268] I must not be thought to regard these addresses with levity. I appreciated them highly, and have preserved them all.
[269] I have elsewhere paid my humble tribute of respect to Dr. Cushing’s memory. The first person to join with me in lamenting his loss was the Right Reverend Bishop Cardot, of the Roman Catholic Church. Our own Bishop was not backward in expressing his sorrow and appreciation. In Burma, at least, there is some unity among Christians.
[270] Mr. G. C. B. Stirling, C.I.E.
