Begins: 'My dear Maclean I have it not in my heart to put forward an excuse for very long silence beyond an amount of employment the like of which I have never had thrown upon me before for many years.' He hopes to see him but leaves that night 'for the North on a tour of inspection'. He describes his movements: 'I go first to Keir near Dumblane sic for a couple of days from thence to Fort George where I may be detained by my duties for two days and from there back to Keir from which point I shall visit the Depôts and Depôt Battns. within reach.' After discussing possible arrangements for a visit he writes: 'I am ordered to hasten back from the North to inspect the Depot Battns. just formed in England and in Jersey before the Winter is farther advanced'. He 'took Mr. Rolston to the Horse Guards. - I found that no influence or interest could obtain the enrolment of his name on the list of Candidates for a Commission by purchase he being passed the age of 18 before he made his application. The Gentleman to whom I presented him is a very old friend of mine. As I told him how much interested I was in behalf of your Young friend he suggested that Mrs. Rolston should apply for a Commission by purchase in a Colonial Corps of which there are 5'. He lists the corps observing of the West Indies that it is a place 'in which you and I passed so many Years of our life' and 'not always unhealthy'. 'By a sacrifice of a little money an exchange could be effected without much difficulty into a Regt. of the Line'. The final page concludes: 'However your Young friend did not deem it advisable to make application for an appt. to any of these Corps'. 3 South Place, Knightsbridge. 1 November 1856. unknown

Text: "I have only now come to town & was prevented replying to your letter of 28 Nov. sooner. We are getting on slowly but I hope surely with the subscription for the BruneI Statue - but all concerned in this National Scotch undertaking must exercise patience - no Committee in Scotland have a such command as you mention £500 I hope the Cttee here are "coping doing" I came to London for Decr. to work at Blue Books at the War Office connected with the late operations in the Field in New Zealand & to prepare an illustrated work "on Bush Fighting" I hope to be able to see you before long also Dr Rogers meanwhile I'm very truly yours ."

According to his long obituary in The Times 13 June 1929 'Central Asian Politics' Yates's 'studies of the affairs of the Indian borderland Central Asia and the Middle East were probably excelled by few retired officers of the Indian Army in wealth of detail and personal knowledge of events and personalities spread over the last half-century'. See also his long entry in Who Was Who. The three items are in fair condition on aged and worn paper with rusting from paperclip. They carry the stamp and docketing of the Society. The card - signed 'A. C. Yate Lt. Col.' - concerns 'the corrected proof of my lecture on "The Indian Army"'. Both letters totalling 3pp. 12mo concern the manuscript of a lecture he proposes giving - following 'a little discussion' at St John's Gate - on the work of the Indian branch of the Red Cross as 'the Society of Arts meditate a lecture on the Ambulance Work of the War'. Accompanying the three items is a Typed Letter Signed 1p. 4to to Wood from Major W. O. Prichard Chief Secretary The St. John Ambulance Association 28 December 1916 on its St John's Gate letterhead sending at Yate's request a copy of the annual report of the Indian Branch which shows 'what wonderful work has been done by the representatives of the Association in India both in connection with the war and among the civil population'.
