The Third Anglo Burmese War ended within a fortnight. Three important letters were found among the Sladen papers (i.e. Col. Sladen?s collection now in the British Library). The letters are: 1. From Kin Wun Mingyi to the Chief Commissioner of British Burma. 2. From Ministers of the Hluttaw to the Myanmar Ambassador at Paris 3. From Hlay thin Atwin Wun to his men at Gwe Chaung. All were dated 11 November 1885. At that time General Prendergast had already crossed the frontier. The letters did not reach the addressees and they were of no avail. But at least they show Myanmar?s last resort in trying to defend their sovereignty......Subject Terms: 1. Myanmar - History - Later Konbaung Period, 1837 - 1885, 2.
