Description

Hooper writes to Bethune from Darjeeling telling him that he has heard either from Hooker, or Hooker's son, that Berghaus' geography is at a stand still because Bethune has not provided him with information. Bethune, on the other hand, has been waiting for a reply to a letter that he wrote to Hooker long ago, suggesting that Hooker should try to make terms for its publication by a London bookseller, on the basis of the English copyright belonging to him [Hooker], and the Indian copyright belonging to them. Bethune also sent the drawings home, which had been sent out to India, but he has heard nothing more of them. All that has been sent there of the text has been translated. Bethune thinks that Berghaus had better complete his work and wonders if Hooker will contact his brother, Captain Bethune in the mean time. Bethune's impression is that he sent the drawings home by Captain Cavanagh, who accompanied the Nipâl Ambassador, but Bethune forgets whether the drawings were addressed directly to Hooker or to Captain Bethune. He thought they should be engraved on steel plates. Page 1 of 2.
