The Viceroy’s State Visit to Agra, January 1907. Official directory (with map): p. 13-14.
Diary of Colonel Sir Henry McMahon (1907), p. 29: “[…] In the afternoon I conducted the Amir to the garden party of Sir John Hewett, the Lieutenant-Governor of the United Provinces. The proceedings included a Gymkhana, and among the events was a very beautiful musical ride by a troop of the 15th Hussars, which impressed the Amir very much. The Amir attached himself for most of the afternoon to Their Excellences Lord and Lady Minto. The attitude of the Native Chiefs and the Amir’s behaviour to them and to the Europeans present was much the same as at the Viceroy’s garden party yesterday.”
