This section contains three separate items. First, there are two notebooks (36) with notes on the Swahili language and one notebook containing a short story about a judge entitled ‘Qadhi Qasim’. In this envelope we also found a picture of Bi Khadija Ahmed Nabhany, the first wife of Sh. Ahmed Nabhany, taken in Pate, and two pictures of Swahili necklaces. Then, there is a small leather bound book with a list of authors and books in Swahili or about Swahili language and literature. The list is scattered.
