- Abstract: This part of the volume consists of copies of enclosures to a despatch from the Government of Bombay Secret Department to the Secret Committee, Number 93 of 1848, dated 1 November 1848. The enclosures are numbered 3-4 and are dated 29 September and 3 October 1848.The enclosures consist of two letters from the Resident in the Persian Gulf (Major Samuel Hennell) to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Bombay (Arthur Malet). These letters include translated copies of letters from the Acting Agent at Shiraz, Mirza Mahmoud (also spelled Mirza Mahomed) to Hennell. The first letter from Hennell (No. 3) reports the receipt of intelligence that Shiraz and Ispahan [Isfahan] were in a disturbed state due to a generally believed rumour that the Shah of Persia [Iran] [Mohammad Qajar] was dead. The second letter from Hennell (No. 4) reports the death of the Shah and the crowning of the heir apparent [Naser al-Din Shah Qajar].Physical description: There is an abstract of contents of the despatch, numbered 1-4, on folio 49. These numbers are repeated for reference on the verso of the last folio of each enclosure.
