References to the interview are also to be found in Minto to Morley, letter, March 17, 1901 and Morley to Minto of the same date, Minto Papers. Complimenting the Viceroy on his handling of the Lama “with entire correctness,” Morley warned: “But we must not take his story for gospel, still less must we allow him to set England and China at loggerheads for the sake of his beaux yeux.”
