if you see no particular objection, till the decision of Government on my application for the payment of the bill of the Female Schools is ascertained.

"5th. Oct 1858. "Yours very truly

"My Dear Sir,

"As various arrangements have been made and orders issued in regard to the charge of the College, Normal School, Vernacular Schools &c., which it would be very inconvenient now to cancel, and especially as it is uncertain within what time the Supreme Government may issue final orders in the matter of Female Schools, I do not think it will be expedient on public grounds to defer carrying out the new arrangements any longer. Had your note of the 5th been written a week or two ago I dare say your request could have been complied with, but now I think it is too late.

"I trust the matter of the Female Schools will be dealt with justly and generously by the Supreme Government and that before long you will be relieved from your present awkward position in regard to these schools.

"I remain,
"Yours truly
(Sd) "W. Gordon Young,
"To Pundit Isvar Chandra Sarma."
