The documents include Yakub Hasan's representation to Prime Minister Lloyd George (1 July 1919) with enclosures, M.A. Jinnah's letter to Lloyd George (4 September 1919) with enclosures regarding the future of the Ottoman Empire and Khilafat, and Viceroy Reading's telegram to the Secretary of State (2 November 1921). The Jinnah document outlines Muslim concerns about the dismemberment of Turkey, the status of Constantinople, and the future of the Khilafat.
