About this Item

Plantation House [St.Helena], 29 May 1817. Lt.-General Sir Hudson Lowe (1769-1844), Governor of St. Helena (1815-1821). Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm (1768-1838) was Commander in Chief of the St.Helena station in 1816-17. Unlike Hudson Lowe, Malcolm remained on good terms with Napoleon, and made a valuable record of their conversations. Letters by Hudson Lowe as Governor of St.Helena are uncommon. "I was wholly uninformed officially or privately until I received Your Excellency s letter either of the complaint made at the Cape to Capt. Wauchope against Lieut. McConchy or of that made to your Excellency since his arrival here .".
