(1) Kirk to Badgerwarns Barghash started by changes in text, e.g. regarding ivory trade; Sultan unable to work or concentrate for any length of time.PP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/1

(2) Walker to KirkBadger's request for immediate interview unsuccessful. Zahir warned Taria Topan refused to farm taxes beyond August; company should assume their responsibilityPP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/2

(3) Walker to KirkZahir for Sultan requests written comments from Badger on the objections to the demands; H.H. asked Z. specially to raise question of KilwaPP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/3

(4) Walker to Kirk Sultan proving unwilling to surrender ivory tax on mainland; refuses to run the customs for an interim period between Taria Topan & the company's advent; basically seems unwilling to surrender any source of immediate profit & privilege on the mainlandPP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/4

(5) Kirk to Walker Necessary to stand firm on ivory tax & like matters; company's possible profitability & viability involved, as scheme involves vaster capital expense than William Mackinnon realises.PP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/5

(6) Walker to Sultan Barghash Impossible to accept the administration responsibility without full control of taxes - if surplus produced, the Sultan shares under Article 10. Note that copy of this letter forwarded KirkPP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/6

(7) Walker to Kirk Interview of Sultan with Badger; H.H. not changed view on Art. X Taxation rights reserved cover not only Zanzibar & islands (as William Mackinnon led to believe) but right to extra taxes on the named items, & full tax on all not named, particularly grain & coal. Estimated could lose 600 thousand dollars by William Mackinnon 's interpretation. Hinted at possible failure of discussions.PP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/7

(8) Kirk to Walker Fears Sultan's mind changed; his arguments specious, - the coal, discovered by Kirk himself, only of local use, cloves, H.H.'s main tax source are not involved - total tax takings far less than estimated; Kirk re-iterates basic points of agreement giving William Mackinnon full rights on mainland. Suspects under pressure from Ba-Kashimir giving disadvantage in trade.PP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/8

(9) Sultan Barghash to Badger translated by Badger - request for a few days' delay for further considerationPP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/9

(10) Telegram to Gray Dawes regarding Arab backing out, fear failure of negotiations.PP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/10

(11) Kirk to Badger regrets Badger's illness; suspects someone playing on H.H.'s greed; warned Taria Topan European ships, then Indian, will refuse him taxes; blames William Mackinnon for not standing by last year's terms; going to Kilwa; departure may hasten Sultan's decision.PP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/11

(13) Walker to Badger requests Badger to inform H.H. desires interview on specific point of mainland taxes. Impossible for concessionaries to assume administrative expenses & heavy capital investment without. Expostulates at time & money already expended.PP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/12

(12) Kirk to Badger Notes the ambiguity in the P.S. to Sultan's memo, denies it has any legal validityBISN Box 2.Unsigned undated copy of extract or extracts from a translation (?) of a German explorer's description of journey from Kilva (Kilwa) to Lukose in late Nov. 1860 - possibly Baron van der Decken, referred to linking notes.Zanzibar mattersPP MS 1/IBEA/1/60/13
