Historically significant archive of early original manuscripts, documenting the military service of Robert Butler, a British officer of the East India Company's Madras Native Infantry, in the first third of the 19th century. Butler entered the service of the East India's Company Army in the 1810s, being appointed a Lieutenant of the 11th Regiment, Madras Native Infantry in 1812, and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the East Indies in 1855 (The London Gazette. Tuesday, February 6, 1855, p. 435). Possibly, he was the author of "Narrative of the Life and Travels of Serjeant B… Written by Himself" (Edinburgh: David Brown, 1823), describing the adventures of a young British soldier in India in the 1810s. The collection includes the original commission appointing Butler a lieutenant in the 11th Madras Native Infantry (signed by the Governor of Madras, Hugh Elliot), originals and certified copies of the documents regarding his sick leave, penalties for not reporting his return, a subsequent pardon, money loans, payments and allowances from the Madras Native Infantry, house renting near "Camp at Kulladghee" [Kaladgi], and a shipment of his order of "1 Linen surcingle, 1 set of white tape headstall & reins, 1 pale […?] saddlecloth with gold lace…" Overall a fascinating collection of early original manuscripts, providing insight into the military service during the East India Company's rule in India.
