A letter from Abdur Razzaq to the General Secretary's Office. The letter regards a
resolution passed in a meeting of Indian students in Dublin on 17 April 1916 requesting
that an enclosure is passed on to Lord Wimborne, Ivor Guest (1873-1939), the lord
lieutenant of Ireland. The enclosure itself is a copy of a resolution made at the
meeting to extend gratitude to Wimborne for his sympathy with the students, who were
targeted in the 'Eye Opener' newspaper, which referred to them as the 'black peril.'Abdur
Razzaq was an Indian student studying Law at the King's Inns in Dublin.
