The diaries relate to domestic political, economic, social and financial matters, law and order, and public health, and are variously arranged under (chiefly) the following headings: 'Arrivals'; 'Departures'; 'British Affairs'; 'Persian Officials'; 'Persian Affairs – Local'; 'Bolshevik Agents'; 'Russian Affairs'; 'Afghan Affairs' or 'Afghanistan News'; 'Revolutionary Activities in Khorasan'; and 'Miscellaneous.' Other matters sporadically referred to are: 'Krans-Rouble Rate'; 'Darajez Affairs'; 'Epidemic Disease'; 'The Arms Traffic'; 'The Coup D'etat at Meshed'; and 'Trade with Soviet Russia'.
The summaries often include appendices which are usually translated documents, extracts of local newspapers, and copies of telegraphic correspondence.
