561        |a This is the bound manuscript in Urdu of Sikandar Begum's account of her pilgrimage to Mecca, written down in 1284 AH [1867 AD] at the suggestion of Lady Durand, wife of Major-General Sir Henry Marion Durand, the Political Agent in Bhopal in the 1850’s and later Emma Laura Willoughby-Osborne (wife of Colonel John William Willoughby Osborne, who was appointed Political Agent at Bhopal in 1862) . It appears that this copy held at SOAS might be one of the two autograph copies produced by Sikandar Begum for Lady Durand and Emma Laure Willoughby-Osborne, that were reported untraceable or missing until now. One manuscript of the travelogue was kept by Sikandar Begum's successor, Nawab Shahjahan Begum in the Royal Archives of Bhopal and Emma Laura Willoughby-Osborne acquired it from her, in order to translate it from Urdu to English. She completed the translation in 1869 (the year following Sikandar Begum's death) and had it published in 1870 by W.H. Allen & Company (available in SOAS Library Special Collections under classmark EB87.175/165394).
