| Description | Letter (possibly a draft), written in pencil and incomplete, from ?Sir Henry Yule, ?Maruchak, to ?Rawlinson. He discusses area surrounding Maruchak, noting that 'before coming here I had never realised the true character or value of the Panjdeh valley...', and discussing the attitudes of the local population to the British 'name and nature'. The second part of the letter has been written in ink with pencil additions and discusses the road from the Khushk valley to Herat, Russian intentions in the area, and provides information relating to local tribes.
