Saturday, June 27th. It was little Bobby F----'s birthday; he was one year old. Charlie came at a quarter to 8, and told us Capt. H----'s murderer had been captured at Allyghur; also that it was reported the 12th N.I. had mutinied at Jhansi, and killed every one of their officers; a letter came from Col. W----, at Cawnpore, with a list of the killed--about half their number; he said that their sufferings had surpassed anything ever written in history, and that their greatest enemy had been the sun; many ladies and children had died from it: but now they had dug underground places and put the women and children in. Brigadier Jack and his brother had both died from sunstrokes. In the course of the day came a pencilled letter from a Mr. M---- at Cawnpore, to his father, Col. M----, here, saying that they were treating with the enemy; this threw us all into consternation, for we thought General W---- would have stood out to the last; however, it is said to be the Rajah of Bhitoor (the Nana), who has commenced the treating with them. A lac of rupees has been set on his head, if brought in within a week. I suppose he had heard of this and became frightened, for he offered General W---- to conduct them all down to Allahabad safely, if they would lay down their arms and give him a lac of rupees. This Rajah is a Mahratta, a notedly treacherous race, so that we were very glad to hear firing had commenced again at Cawnpore;[7] proof that, of course, Gen. Wheeler would not agree to such a treaty. [Footnote 7: This must have been the firing into the boats instead. Poor creatures! we little thought it was the horrid massacre going on.]
