Governor-General of India

The year is 1833, and thanks to the St Helena Act,  I have acquired a new job title.  No longer am I the assistant to the Governor-General of Bengal. No, my Lord Bentinck is no longer in control of Bengal, but of India!  The hand of my dear Britain's Parliament has struck down the control of the East India Company over the country. Now the country is firmly under the control of my homeland, and as a result Lord Bentinck's position is now attached to a new legislative body. Now, under the grace of parliament he maintains his role on a much larger scale.  

I can only imagine what changes are on the horizon. However, let it be known that have no doubt that Lord Bentinck will be able to maintain the the grace he has carried throughout his employment so far.

I have included in this entry a handful of drawings of Lord Bentinck, as done by Mr. James Atkinson just the other day. Mr. Atkinson was at one point a prolific editor of this country's Calcutta Gazette, and had several interactions with Lord Bentinck once the man became a benefactor of the paper. Shortly after our arrival to Bengal, the two men seemed to have had a falling out, and Mr. Atkinson's enacted a swift departure from the country (whether or not those two events were related, I have never known...). 

However, now Mr. Atkinson has returned to resume his position as Surgeon for the country, and paid Lord Bentinck a rather tepid social visit. It was during this visit that presented the lord with this collection of impressive sketches he amassed during their conversation over tea. (I had seen other evidence of his artistic talent, but this is quite impressive!)

I have never been a man to make emotional assumptions, but if this drawing is any indication, their relationship may very well be on the mend.

To any of you who write

May your words ring with the voices of all the old tellers. May your pen drip with the venom and wit of those jilted, full of spite. May you create worlds that enthrall, empower, and inspire. May the tears of those who cry for your children of ink grant you strength. Above all else, continue to create. For we are the scribes and painters of the new world.
