Russian Mission,

Letter from J. R. Macdonald, Haymarket, London, to the Marquess of Cholmondeloy, 5 June 1920. Heard Lloyd George state in the House of Commons the previous day that the Supreme Economic Council intended despatching a mission to Russia to ascertain the economic condition of the country. As the writer is anxious to solve the current economic problem, would like to go on the mission. Would like the recipient to assist him in this aspiration if possible, although he does not seek any official position, simply to gather information and render assistance.

Letter from ? to Lord Clive.

Perhaps you may remember the day I came to see you with my son and that you informed me that you were considering arranging for a honourable discharge for me from my services. I am grateful for your kindness. Meanwhile, at this time of the harvest the situation in the country is getting worse and because of the extortion and mismanagement of the tahsildar most of the cultivators are running away and the remaining inhabitants are complaining. Although I do not consider this a very pleasant duty it is essential that I inform you about the mismanagement of the company's tahsiladar. I do not wish to ask anything more than my pension to support my dependants. As I am not keeping very well I wish to go away from this place for a change of air. I would be grateful if you could issue orders for my pension to be paid.

On the night of the 8th of Safar a middle-aged men clad in a blanket came here and stopped at the mausoleum of a faqir next to the Sarae Mo. He has put up his bed there and claims that he is the son of Rafi al-Darajat and Nuh/son-in-law of Emperor Bahadur Shah. I went to investigate this in the morning and found out that he claimed that he had escaped from Delhi Fort to Hyderabad and came here to gather support and conquer the country. I intend to take him into custody but will wait until I have completed my investigation.
