What reading level is A Letter to Sir James Davidson Gordon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hamilton's despatch, No. 47, of the 9th February 1858, to the Government of India.
21 of July 1857, might have been very different from what they were.
When we take into consideration these timely but neglected counsels, the good faith of which it is impossible to doubt, and those points as to the talents, training, and associations of Holkar and his councillors, with which Colonel Durand ought to have been familiar, his hasty suspicion and condemnation of the Maharajah and of his Durbar, " are... enough to convict him of being "a bad political officer". When Colonel Durand avoided the cantonment of Mhow, because he thought it would be attacked by Holkar, w r hen he wrote to Lord Elphinstone that " Holkar's treachery was of the true Mahratta stamp", * he showed himself to be a "bad political officer".
Your contention, however, is that although, "to begin with", Colonel Durand "certainly imagined that Holkar had thrown in his lot against us", " directly Holkar disclaimed such intention, he accepted and favourably noticed the Maharajah's explanations.
