Military administration of Bengal,
Part of Robert Clive Papers
The group consists, for the most part, of papers, [c. 1750’s]-1771, connected with the general routine military administration but also includes some papers, 1756, relating to Clive’s own active service. Being few in number however, they provide only a fragmentary record of his military role with little for the early years of his service and his first governorship (1758-1760), but slightly more for his second administration (1765-1767). A few papers, dated 1764 and 1771, refer to events that occurred when Clive was not in India but are, nonetheless, pertinent to his service there.
