              GB 891 WST-WST/3-WST/3/2-WST/3/2/5 · Item · (1840 - 1870)
              Part of Papers of Arthur Anderson, Clement, Edward William, Henry, and Walter West

              An envelope containing three folded sheets of impressions of Pahlavi inscriptions of Cave No. 66 at Kanheri. Two appear to have been taken by Walter West on his visit to the caves between December 27th and 29th 1870, while the third seems to be an earlier one taken by Edward William West which has been checked and notated by W. West latterly.

              These are page 7 on the folder list.

              Part of Papers of Arthur Anderson, Clement, Edward William, Henry, and Walter West

              A smaller piece of card and paper pasted onto a sheet of folscap paper. The first is an impression of what is believed to be a coin found in front of Cave No. 7 in November 1852, with a brief explanatory note dated January 1853. The second is a letter dated to approximately June 1853 sent from Henry West to a Dr. Wilson containing a copy short inscription from Kanheri.

              The addressee is most likely John Wilson, once President of the Bombay Asiatic Society, Bombay Cave Temple Commission and lobbyist for the Archaeological Survey of India. This is indicated to on the folder list; 'Dr. J. Wilson'.
