Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of the Right Hon. Warren Hastings, Vol. 3: First Governor-General of Bengal, Compiled From Original Papers Dear Sir, - The public letters which you will have received from this Government since Mr. Graham's arrival will have convinced you of my particular and ready desire to afford you every support which could be given to you by the influence of this Government, nor has that of the other members of it been less zealous for the same effect. You will have perceived that we have confined our interposition to influence only. The reason, and that which operated with greatest force on my mind was, that the tone of authority would but have given offence, and perhaps excited defiance, and though the Court of Directors have empowered us to issue our orders to the other presidencies, and have commanded them to obey us, yet as they have given us no power to enforce our orders, the obedience which may be paid to them remains as optional as the com pliance which they might have given to our advice, before we were invested with this extraordinary charge. The president and select committee are possessed of our full sentiments on the points which you have spe cifically referred to us, and it is at their peril if they refuse tg conform to them.
