Diary of Colonel Sir Henry McMahon (1907), p. 29: “The Amir paid a visit to the Taj Mahal this morning and was greatly impressed with it. He was not able; however, to inspect it as thoroughly as he wished, and tells me he will devote several hours to it on Sunday. He had to hurry back to his camp to start for Friday prayers at the big Jumma Musjid of Agra. I am told that the crowd collected in the vicinity of the mosque was enormous, and the Amir subsequently told me that unless he had sent his troops to line the approach to the mosque, he could not have got it. This I took to be a sort of apology for sending his troops there at all.”
