Further enclosures to the letter can be found at: IOR/F/4/2504/142194; IOR/F/4/2504/142195; IOR/F/4/2504/142196; IOR/F/4/2504/142197; IOR/F/4/2504/142198; and IOR/F/4/2504/142199.

The item relates to the recent gift of six horses given to the Governor of Bombay by the Imaum [Imām] of Muscat. At the suggestion of Major Atkins Hamerton, HM Consul and Company’s Agent in the Dominions of His Highness the Imam of Muscat, the Government of Bombay resolves to pay for the repair of the Imaum's ship, Artemise [also rendered in text as Artense], whilst it is docked at Bombay [Mumbai]. The item contains details of:
- The cost of looking after the horses
- The eventual sale of the horses
- Estimations of labour and materials required to repair the Artemise.
Hamerton is informed by the Government of Bombay to emphasise to the Imaum that the gift of repairing his ship is in light of various gifts he has given to the Governor over the years, and should not be treated as a precedent.
Correspondents include: Hamerton; Lieutenant-Colonel C Blood, Remount Agent, Bombay; Captain Sir Henry Leeke, Commander in Chief of the Indian Navy; Jackson William Muspratt, General Pay Master; and the Government of Bombay.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', 'Draft No. 350 of 1853', 'Collection No. 1 of No. 8 of 1853', 'Vol: 16', and 'Examiner's Office'. Originally, the Collection number was given as '7' but this has been crossed out.
