- Abstract: This bundle consists of summaries, and partial transcripts, of secret letters received from both the Governor General of India (8 March 1856, Numbers 10-11) and the Government of Bombay (19 March 1856, Number 20). The amount of detail for each entry therefore varies.The despatches from the Governor General (folios 95-101) discuss the extent that Persia supports the position of Prince Mahomed Yoosoof [Mohammad Yusuf Khan] at Herat, and whether the Government of India should encourage Dost Mahomed [Dost Mohammad Khan, Amir of Afghanistan] to annex Herat. It also covers the killing of an unnamed individual, claimed to be in self-defence, by Major Nicholson in the Punjab.The section from Bombay (folio 102) is concerned with updates on Aden.Physical description: 1 item (8 folios)
