Letter books of general letters to Europe and within India,

Letter books containing general letters (mostly public but some private) from Clive to correspondents in Europe but mainly to officers of the East India Company in India. They derive from his second period of residence in India, 1756-1760, when he returned as a lieutenant-colonel and held the positions of deputy-governor of Fort St David, and governor, for the first time, of Bengal. There are also some letters from Clive's aides and associates. -- The letters relate to military and naval operations in Bengal, the restoration of the East India Company's interests there, the East India Company's financial affairs, the capture and recapture of Calcutta, relations with the French and the capture of their settlement at Chandernagore, the political and military situation prevailing from the aftermath of the capture of Chandernagore to the march on Plassey, including relations with Siraj-ud-daula and Mir Jafar, and the battle of Plassey.
