The papers comprise:
- A report by the Acting Superintendent of Police, Bombay, to the Secretary to the Government, Bombay, concerning the arrival of Sirdar Munowar Dill Khan [Serdār Munawwar Dil Khān] of Kandahar at the Presidency, his movements whilst at Bombay, and his apparent preparations to leave for Aden en route to Mecca
- A Resolution of Board confirming that it has no objection to Sirdar Munowur Dil Khan going to Mecca
- A letter from Henry Bartle Frere, Commissioner in Sind [Sindh], to the Governor and President in Council, Bombay, suggesting that the consent of Dost Mohamed Khan [Dūst Muḥammad Khān Bārakzāy] be obtained regarding those members of his Kandahar family who have applied to the British to go to India via Sind, and that since Dost Mahomed has reason to doubt the ‘fidelity’ of the sirdars he may not be sorry if they remain in ‘British India’ where ‘he may feel assured they will not be permitted to organize any movement inimical to himself, as they might possibly do if they again sought refuge in Persia’ (f 151).
