The first enclosure (No. 3) consists of copies of despatches from HM Chargé d'Affaires to the Court of Persia [Iran] (Lieutenant Colonel Francis Farrant) to HM Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Lord Palmerston), received under flying seals by the Chief Secretary to the Government of Bombay. The despatches in No. 3 are numbered 77-79 and are dated 4 to 6 September 1848.

The despatches concern the illness of the Shah [Mohammad Qajar], his death, and opposition within the Court to the Prime Minister following the death of the Shah.
The second enclosure (No. 4) is a letter from the Resident in the Persian Gulf (Major Samuel Hennell) to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Bombay (Arthur Malet) forwarding despatches [not included in this item] from Farrant announcing the death of Mahomed Shah and the 'prospect of the peaceful and quiet succession' of the heir apparent, Nassir-oo-deen [Naser al-Din Shah Qajar].
