We have often talked of you both, and wondered where you were living. He had thought it was somewhere in the valley of the Thames, at least I thought you told me so when last I met you both walking in Regent Street - some 10 years ago . After a brief comment on Tierney s ill health, he recalls how He, Alfred Torrens, and I sat next to each other at Mills School. Torrens died a few weeks ago, and now I am the only one left. He ends by sending his and his wife s condolences, and in a postscript signed R asks to be informed should you come to London . In his 1914 biography, Walter Jerrold writes that between 1842 and 1845 Roberts was pupil of a Mr. Mills at Hampton .

See the entries for the two men in the Oxford DNB, as well as that of the subject of the letter, Sir Richard Temple s eldest son Captain Richard Carnac Temple (1850-1931), the future second baronet. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Aged, with the gutter repaired with archival tape, and the reverse of the second leaf adhering to part of its mount. Headed Private and addressed to Dear Sir Richard . His telegram of 16 May reached Roberts in Kashmir, and he at once communicated its contents to the Foreign Secretary, but with no result, as I was sorry to find when the Gazette with the Queen s Birthday Honors appeared . He will however have another opportunity of bringing your son s name to the notice of government, for in Sir George White s report on giving up the Command in Burma, Captain Temple s good services are specially alluded to . (See the Oxford DNB: The outbreak in 1885 of the Third Anglo-Burmese War brought Temple once more on active service, and led in 1887 to his being placed in charge of King Thibaw's capital on Thibaw's deposition. ) Roberts will be pleased to endorse the General s favorable opinion .

Interessante opera nella quale sono raccolte le memorie di Frederick Roberts, che trascorso quarantuno anni in India come ufficiale e comandante britannico. L'opera offre un'accurata istantanea dell'impero britannico in tutta la sua grandezza nella secodna metà del XIX secolo. L'opera riscosse uno straordinario successo: la prima edizione fu pubblica il 4 gennaio 1897, seguita nel sei mesi successivi da altre 21 edizioni, oltre ad un'edizione americana, un'edizione indiana e un'edizione Braille. Frederick Roberts, I conte Roberts (Cawnpore, 1832 - Saint-Omer, 1914), è stato un generale britannico. Proveniente da una famiglia di militari, si distinse già in gioventù per coraggio e la tenacia, che gli valsero durante la rivolta dei sepoys la Victoria Cross. Fu uno dei più importanti ed abili generali britannici in Età vittoriana: guidò con successo le sue truppe nella seconda guerra anglo-afghana, nel corso della quale condusse la famosa marcia su Kandahar, e soprattutto ristabilì con una serie di vittorie la situazione a favore dell'Impero britannico nel corso della seconda guerra boera. Ricoprì la carica di feldmaresciallo e comandante in capo del British Army. .
