BARING, Thomas George, 1st Earl of Northbrook (1826-1904) Viceroy of India 1872-76. Autograph letter signed Northbrook, 4 Hamilton Place, Piccadilly, 1 April 1895. 5 pp, on embossed letterhead with red silk binding string. A four sided sheet attached with a single sheet with the silk string. Mounting residue to the last side. Overall, very good.  Northbrook thanks the recipient for genealogical notes about his relatives and in particular his great grandmother, enclosing a cheque for ten rupees 'for fixing the slab to the memory of Mrs Sealy and her sister Mrs Thornhill in the old churchyard.' He discusses the restoration of the Thornhill and Sealy tombs in Park Street Cemetery, Calcutta. An unusually personal letter from the former Viceroy of India concerning his Anglo-Indian ancestry and restoration of his great grandmother's grave in Calcutta, written nearly twenty years after leaving India.
