réf. 21634Studley Royal Ripon 25 August 1886. 3 pp. 7 x 4 inches vertical folds in good condition. Marked Private. George Frederick Samuel Robinson first Marquess of Ripon 1827-1909 Liberal statesman. Ripon was Viceroy of India 1880-1884. As regards Burma I share your disquietude as to the state of things there. I always entertained the strongest conviction that the annexation of Upper Burma would prove a much more difficult & a far less profitable undertaking than its eager advocates seemed to suppose - but on the other hand I doubt the possibility now of restoring what has been destroyed & I am afraid that we must pay the penalty of Lord R Churchills rash policy. I agree very much with you in the belief that these things will not be stopped until the cost of them is practically brought home to the British taxpayer. unknown
