After his death, his wife edited them and had them published by Longman, Brow, Green, Longmans and Roberts in 1858. One of these letters gives an account of the events of Sunday 10 May 1857.

The evening was greeted by the sounds of shots and the arrival of Mr Gough of the 3rd Cavalry who arrived to warn of the danger from the mutinous troups. Hervey and Elise hid in the house. The faithfulness of their servants saved them from being found. The house was set on fire. One servant in particular Golab Khan risked all by persuading the mob that he knew where they were hiding - in a haystack some way from the house. The mob followed him allowing Hervey and Elisa to escape to hide in the garden just before the house collapsed. Miraculously the brave servant later escaped. With the following dawn the full extent of the massacre and destruction was revealed, the Sepoy mutineers had got away during the night. Hervey and Elise left and sought refuge with their friends Captain and Mrs Cookson who were on the dragoon lines.¹
