Does somebody here know about A M Elliot who was sent as envoy in 1778 by the Calcutta-based honchos of the HEIC to the court of the erstwhile king (Raja) of Nagpore? I have some information based on Marathi accounts, but I'd like to read contemporary accounts from English sources. Something from the Hasting papers, perhaps? He later died somewhere in the area that comes under the present-day Chhatisgarh and even today his tomb is maintained at the cost of that state's government - so I have heard. Was it he or his father after whom the Elliot Road in Calcutta is named? ** Slice of England on Elliot Road ** 7 Dec 2002 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/30593297.cms ----- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar Nagpur, India
