Arrangement:

The enclosures to each despatch within the volume (each item) are divided by blue dividers. The sets of enclosures to despatches are arranged in approximate chronological order from the front to the rear of the volume. The enclosures within each despatch (except IOR/L/PS/5/395, ff 31-38 and IOR/L/PS/5/395, ff 344-352) are preceded by an abstract of contents, in which the despatch itself (not included) is numbered 1, the abstract of contents 2, and the enclosures 3, 4, etc. The numbers listed in the abstract of contents are recorded for reference on the verso of the last folio of each enclosure, along with the original reference, and a description of each enclosure. Two of the items in the volume (IOR/L/PS/5/395, ff 28-30 and IOR/L/PS/5/395, ff 353-357) consist of abstracts of contents only, without the accompanying enclosures.
