Answer 1

On 14th January 1780, I was appointed by the select committee to proceed to Srirangapatna, on an embassy to Nawab Hyder Ali Khan to demand the release of some English subjects who had been stopped at Calicut by Sirdar Khan, Hyder's foujdar there, but I was particularly instructed by Sir Thomas Rumbold to endeavour to bring Hyder into a better understanding with the English than he had for some time shown and if possible to gain his confidence". (The Journal of Mr. George Gray)
