ii) Letter. W. Geere, 3 Trinity Road, Wimbledon to Mr Wilson. Thank you for reply to letter of 4 Feb agreeing to show this letter to Captain Sykes. One of the partners on the paper Mr Percy C. Clarke may make contact (20 Feb 1909)

iii) Letter. Percy Clarke to Mark Sykes. Requesting an interview with Captain Sykes. He also sent information on 'The Near East' Paper founded a year ago for political purposes. It now seems that it could become a business venture. The paper is becoming influential in Turkey and also is in friendly connections with Greece. A business plan is outlined for 5000 copies per month (24 Feb 1909)

iv) Letter. W. Geere to Mr Wilson. Explaining how he sees the facts. Mr Clarke has paid the expenses on the paper and Mr Lucas has been the Editor. A Greek gentleman who was a partner has incurred excess expenses and is no longer involved. The writer now feels that the paper has a chance to survive (27 Mar 1909)

v) Telegram from Victoria Street, London from Eastology, The Near East Paper. Clarke coming to Yorkshire and would like to see Mr Sykes (13 Apr 1909)
