http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/27257277

Journals provide details of the life of the wife of an officer of the 3rd Bombay Light Infantry as she followed her husband in India from 1838-1850. The author described housing, food, travel, native customs, and disease as well as writing of the military and political developments she observed or learned from reports. During the annexation of the Sind province, Mrs. Walter was at Sukkur, and wrote of the activities of Napier, Elphinstone, Outram, and Ellenborough. Entries provide a first-hand account of the last days of the East India company and of events culminating in the Sepoy Rebellion.
