Letter books containing letters from Clive written principally during his final years in England from 1767 to 1774 although there are some addressed from Europe which he visited between January and September 1768. For the most part they are addressed to various individuals in England but with the occasional letter to India and elsewhere. The varied nature of the letters reflects both Clive's own personal and domestic concerns and his continuing interest in Indian affairs after leaving Bengal. Nineteenth century transcripts are NLW, Sir John Malcolm Papers, M4.

A list of letters received by Lord Clive from Europe (i.e. England), 1765-1767. It gives an alphabetical list of correspondents, the dates of writing and of receipt, the name of the ship by which the letter was sent and the name of the person recommended to Clive for Company service. The correspondents include Clive's attornies, members of his family, and the Secret Committee of the East India Company.

A register which appears to relate to a series of 'Country correspondence' some of which are in CR9. The register appears to relate to a series of 'Country Correspondence' letter books which, had they survived, would have immediately preceded the series described in CC2 and CC. It contains abstracts, copies and translations of the 538 letters exchanged between Clive and the Indian rulers from his arrival in Bengal in 1756 until his appointment as governor in 1758. The period of the register saw the recapture of Calcutta (Jan 1757), the capture of Chandernagore from the French (March 1757), the true and fictitious treaty with Mir Jafar (May 1757) and the battle of Plassey (June 1757).

Much of the correspondence relates to Anglo- French- Indian relations, wars, rebellions and infighting between Indian rulers and to the collection of revenues for the East India Company.
