- Scope and Contents note
- In his book In Darkest Africa, Stanley says "Sali, my boy, is the cleverest spy in the camp. How he obtains his information I do not know .... He is in the counsels of the captain ..... Of course he has many subordinate informers to assist." Sali's testimony regards the conduct of the naturalist and traveler James Sligo Jameson and Major Edmund Musgrave Barttelot, and the decline of the Rear Guard.
