Excerpt from Journal of the Sutlej Campaign of 1845-6: And Also of Lord Hardings's Tour in the Following Winter

I was on leave at Simla, in the autumn of 1845, having been driven there by a dangerous illness at Canpoor, and was rapidly recovering my health in that delightful sanatarium, when I was appointed Chaplain to the Governor-General, Sir Henry Hardinge, then on a tour through the Upper Provinces. I felt that my new position would be one of peculiar responsibility, and I prayed and resolved earnestly to be faithful in my sacred ministry, whatever the people might be, whom I was about to join.

The First Part of this Journal was written between December 3, 1845, and March 23, 1846, the greater portion of which period was immortalized by the memorable Sutlej campaign.
