The date on which it subsequently passed to CMS headquarters is not known.
Related MaterialFurther papers relating to Drs Pennell and Iliff are held in the Church Missionary Society archive held by Cadbury Research Library (GB 0150 CMS), including a diary kept by Pennell during his tour of the Punjab (CMS/Z 41).
