 On the instructions of Edward VII , the Commissioner of Agra , W. H. Cobb , visited Karim Lodge to retrieve any remaining correspondence between the Munshi and the Queen or her Household , which was confiscated and sent to the King . The Viceroy ( by then Lord Minto ) , Lieutenant @-@ Governor John Hewitt , and India Office civil servants disapproved of the seizure , and recommended that the letters be returned . Eventually the King returned four , on condition that they would be sent back to him on the death of the Munshi 's first wife .
