PZ 1070/40(1) ‘Transmission of F.O. secret packets to & from Consulates etc., abroad’
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains correspondence relating to the regular dispatch overseas of Foreign Office secret and confidential documents in sealed packets, by arrangement with the India Office in London. These are sent by sea mail to India, for onward transmission to the following Consular and Political Officers in the Persian Gulf at Bahrain, Kuwait and Muscat; Pondicherry in French India; Kabul, Kandahar, Jalabad [Jaalalabad] in Afghanistan; Panjim and Marmagao in Portuguese India; Kashgar and Tengyueh [Tengchong] in China; Katmandu [Kathmandu]; and Seistan [Sistan] in Iran.
The file does not contain the Foreign Office documents included in dispatches, only the covering letters that accompany them on their journey. These are largely from the Under-Secretary of State for India, London, to the Secretary to the Government of India in the External Affairs Department, New Delhi, who is asked to confirm safe receipt and onward transmission to the addressees.
The file includes five dividers, which give a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. These are placed at the back of the correspondence.
