Includes a number of scenes on board ship in 1914 and some miscellaneous unbacked slides which are largely duplicates, or similar to, those in other boxes.

A collection of loose prints (mainly snapshots). The prints are largely uncaptioned and much of this item lacks detailed identification (although many of the prints certainly relate to Bell's trip to the Far East in 1925-26).

This collection was compiled from three files on Commonwealth Conferences, other than meetings of heads of governments: Colonial Conferences: General; Commonwealth Conferences: General; Commonwealth Conferences: Trade, Financial, Economic. There are 90 photographs, but owing to some changes in the collection, the numbering is somewhat erratic: Nos. 35-38 and 40-42 do not exist, and there are additional photographs at 56 A-B and 62 A-E.

Much of the correspondence relates to an article printed in the 'Penang Gazette' on 17 April 1827, written by Captain Lake, Inspector-General of Plans at Penang, criticising the treaty the that Burney had recently negotiated with Siam [Thailand]. Several of the letters were written by William Cox, the editor of the paper. Burney's complaints to the Government of India were upheld.
