In the meantime the more attention the problem around
the arrival of something of a mission to the Acehnese at the time
The Dutch were about to start the attack.
Not a coincidence, that in December that too
already anchored in Kuala Aceh a British warship that
named "Thalia". A British colonel named Woolcombe
which was reportedly deliberately delivered by the warship, air-
intend to convey a private letter of queen Vic-
toria from England to Sultan of Aceh. According to the announced
while the contents of the letter is to "convince"
Sultan of Aceh not to fight the Dutch with violence, but
prepare yourself to make peace with the Dutch will.
There are some old colonel Woolcombe still silent on board.

A source said that the landing of the colonel
Woolcombe is not wanted by the Dutch if in the meantime
that the Dutch had to stop the attack. In the meantime
Woolcombe himself is not convinced that his letter will be delivered
by the Dutch or will achieve its goal (as a letter
which comes from a non-combatant kingdom) if
the letter was entrusted to the Dutch to convey-
his. On the other hand, the Dutch on his side can not guarantee
safety if Colonel Woolcombe himself or someone
other British magistrates landed together with
the Dutch authorities to deliver the letter.
Thus, the results of Queen Victoria's letters are unbearable,
paikan, and the Woolcombe colonel went home to the country.
More details around this Queen Victoria's mission
not obtained. But connect it with the news
Sumo Widikjo's "death" opened the way to believe that
The Dutch suspect the content of the Woolcombe colonel's mission and
the contents of Queen Victoria's letters are not known by the Dutch how in fact the whole contents. Then suddenly heard that news
a Dutch envoy, Sumo Widikjo has been killed. It's not
it is surprising if with this event the Dutch expect
that the Woolcombe colonel would prefer to go home instead
rather than forcing yourself to go ashore with two risks, per-
first from the Netherlands and second from the Aceh side.
