Letts's Diary for 1864; missing cover boards and introductory printed pages. Vicars's first entry reads "At Sea 4 days W. of Galle [Sri Lanka]. Here I am beginning a diary again after 3 years cessation - I don't mean to keep it up though regularly. I am on my way to India with Sir John Lawrence as his ADC. We left ... London on 9th Dec. another fortnight D.V. will see us in Calcutta" (Jan. 1). This volume contains regular but sometimes brief entries for 1864. One entry records "The 7th anniversary of the Storm of Delhi. Col. Norman gave a dinner to all the Delhi men and we mustered our 30 and enjoyed ourselves and made a good noise" (Sept. 14). Vicars includes a list of names of men who attended the dinner.
