Hi
I know you say primary documents only and I'm not sure if this will count, but there could be quite a lot of published letters/extracts in the papers from that period.
e.g. http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk
"... THE INDIAN MUTINY. The following is extracted from the private letter of a young officer in India: "” ... "

"... THE INDIAN MUTINY. LETTER FROM A NATIVE OF HUDDERSFIELD. The following ... "

If you could use that sort of material then you could search first and just download like mad to keep the cost to a minimum.
