I INCLOSE, for the information of your Excellency in Council, copies of letters
from the Foreign Office dated the 29th October and the 6th November, with inclosures.
I assume that the publication referred to in this Correspondence is the same as that
mentioned in Major Cox’ letter dated the 21sfc April, 1900, and in General Creagh’s
letter dated the 27th May of the same year, addressed to the Government of Bombay From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions. .
It will be observed that Salem Kemri reports that the leaflet was also sent to Kutch
and Kurrachee, and it might be expedient to institute inquiries in those localities as to
the extent of its circulation.
2. It appears that Salem Kemri is now at Aden, and, in view of the circumstances
of the case, I think it is desirable that a formal recitation and declaration on oath of
the charges and facts narrated* should be made before a magistrate both by Dr. Young
and Salem Kemri, and forwarded to me. I request your Excellency to give directions
to that effect, and, to save- time, I have caused a copy of this despatch to be sent to the
Government of Bombay From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions. 1 . \
I have, &c.
