From - Tiie Secretary to the Government of India

To - - His Britannic Majesty’s Consul General and Agent
of the Government of India in Khorasan,Meshed.
No* 231-S.
Dated the 27th February 1920.
Please refer to the passage in Malleson’s telegram
to Chief of the General Staff M.D.08255, dated February
20th..about Wagner’s black box. Following telegram dated
14th of February received from Secretary of State. Begin s:-
German (? papers) at Herat. Reference my telegram of
August 12th, 1918. Authentic information has been received
by War Office to effect that Wagner may try to return to
s
Herat under the disguise of a member of mission to prisoned
of war in Turkestan, in order to recover Niedermeyer’s
papers which, it is said, include mission diary, records
of the utmost military, political and scientific importance
as well as geological photographs. German Government has
not apparently sanctioned project officially. Could
Consul-General, Meshed, not make further attempt to secure
papers or at least make sure that they are destroyed.JlndS^
Do you think that with Mallesons help you can
get hold of the box without suspicion or resentment of
Afghans being aroused ? Obviously it would be better to
get hold of papers rather than merely to have them
destroyed.
