VICEROY'S LETTERS DECLINED 67
purposes, was first employed to write a letter on his own
behalf to the Dalai Lama, suggesting, in general terms,
that a high Tibetan official should be sent to discuss the
frontier and trade questions. This letter met with an
unfavourable response. Captain Kennion, the Assistant
to the Resident in Kashmir, who annually visits Leh and
the Western 'Tibet frontier, was then charged with a letter
from the Viceroy to the Dalai Lama, which he was to

Emperor of a certain Dorjieff, who was described as first
'rsanit Hamba to the Dalai Lama of Tibet. And, some
months later, our Consul-General at Odessa forwarded
to the Foreign Office an extract from the Odessa Novosti
of June 12 (25), 1901, stating that Odessa would welcome
that day an Extraordinary Mission from the Dalai Lama
of Tibet, which was proceeding to St. Petersburg with
diplomatic instructions of importance. At the head of
