Letter from Dr. Alois Anton Führer in Lucknow Museum to William Claxton Peppé in Birdpore, in which he writes that he expected Peppé in Lucknow on 26 March. He writes that would be happy to send a man to Birdpore so that he can bring 'a part of the valuables here' to prepare an illustrated report. Or Peppé could send him items by registered post. He cannot commence the coloured drawings before May because his draftsmen are employed at Sikandra. Führer asks Peppé to send a Japanese art journal that he left with Peppé. Handwritten, 2 sides, dated 31 March 1898.

He has sent a report on Piprahwa to the Government along with photographs of the excavation and finds. He considers Dr. Hoey's translation of the inscription to be incorrect.

Letter from T. W. Rhys Davids, Secretary, Royal Asiatic Society, 22 Albemarle Street, to William Claxton Peppé in Birdpore, in which he expresses the gratitude of the Society to Peppé for his 'careful exploration and great discovery'. The Council has decided to print his article 'as it stands' although his plans were torn in the post. Peppé's photograph does not show all the inscription, so they have sent a photograph of 'the similar Sonari vase' for Peppé to send a similar one of his own vase. He asks if he may propose Peppé as a member of the Society. Handwritten with printed letterhead, 4 sides, dated 3 June 1898.

'Extract from a letter addressed to Col. Sykes by Captn. M. Kittoe dated Sherghatti (Sherghati), 3 December 1846' in which he writes of his exploring in 'Gaya' and finding antiquities with inscriptions which he believes relate to gifts from rich people and the building of Hindu temples. He has copied the inscriptions and hopes to interpret them.

He has only found four or five fragments of Buddhist architecture but many small sculptural stones. He has sketched one find (copy of sketch is present) and describes others. He asks Sykes to compare with his notes on the caves at Ellora. At Bodh Gaya he has found many fragments of Buddhist sculptures which he also describes and compares with others. He has also discovered another Asoka pillar at 'Bakremee', the site of an ancient city. It is broken into pieces but describes it and its connections with other excavations and objects.

'Extract of a letter from Capt. Kittoe, addressed to Colonel Sykes, dated Gya, 2 March 1848' in which he writes that he fears little will be done that year as the weather is too hot and the authorities need to give permission. He sends with the letter some copies of inscriptions he has already done. He gives some details of these inscriptions and their locations. He also writes that he has 'a beauty of a model of a Siva temple of the 8th or 9th century which I promised at Benares'. He will restore that and others before sending to Sykes. He writes that he is reading H.H. Wilson's 'Vishnu Purana' in which he finds many of his own opinions confirmed.

'Extract of a letter addressed to Colonel Sykes by Capt. Kittoe, dated Benares (Varanasi), 21 January 1849' in which he apologises for not writing sooner but he had delayed in the hope of sending more discoveries. In this he is disappointed but goes to Raja Griha and hopes that will change. He has for several months been examining 'a fine collection of Inscriptions from Bundelkhand and Gwalior' sent by Captain Ellis but he is finding difficulties in interpreting them. He is also working on an inscription from Sarnath. He describes what he has discovered so far. Kittoe hopes to be able to go into Nepal to look at Buddhist temples. He writes some of what he's learnt about Buddhist, Hindu and Jain temples. Kittoe also hopes that when he has finished work at the College he will be able to visit the Western Caves. He is not sending his report awaiting more illustrations. Finally, he writes of the work of Captain A. Cunningham and how Kittoe thinks he is in error.

'Copy of a letter addressed to Col. Sykes by Capt. R. Gill, dated Jabneh, 29 March 1849' in which he writes of his latest series of paintings which comprise of copies of nearly all the paintings of the verandah of the caves except that which was supposed to be a representation of the zodiac, but which appeared to Gill as a representation of the states of man. Gill continues to describe the caves and their paintings, inscriptions and layout.
