Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c56.s2.2

v4.c56.s2.2

∗ A full account of this interview and others that followed it was given by James Skinner, some 35 years later, to his biographer Fraser (i. 241-246). An absolutely contemporary and far more reliable account is found in the despatches of Resident Collins (present at Ujjain at the time), as printed in PRC. vol. ix, Nos. 47-54. H. Compton expresses his disbelief in Skinner's narrative, p. 273. Gulgulé D. silent. Perron left Ujjain on his return journey on 23rd April, and reached Aligarh at the beginning of May.
