"Journal of a Mission to the Government of some of the Lower Provinces of Siam". A handwritten unbound manuscript of 94 sides describing James Low's Mission to the Rajah of Ligor in 1824. The manuscript is dated 1824 but there is a postscript explaining the main purpose of the mission, dated 1 January 1846. The manuscript bears many alterations and annotations.

C.", published in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, July 1838.

The majority of this correspondence are letters sent to Elliot to provide details for his Glossary, or other administrative purpose. They are in English, Urdu, Persian and Hindi. One letter is a list of the population figures for English counties according to the 1841 Census.
