Beke's public services, collected by his widow Mrs Emily Beke, including a volume of extracts (262 folios) from official correspondence relating to Dr Beke and to Abyssinia from 1836 to 1874, in support of Mrs Beke's claim for £10,000 from the British Government. The volume is annotated 'Rough copy for private use' on the title page. A label has been pasted onto the front cover, annotated: '1902 March. These "Extracts" of Official Correspondence during Dr Beke's Life were submitted to Lord Knollys [Francis Knollys, 1st Viscount Knollys (1837–1924)] Private Secretary to the King and it was forwarded by him (at the King's order) to the First Lord of the Treasury, The Rt. Hon. Arthur J. Balfour, M.P. - I received it back by post from the Treasury without any remark!!! Nothing was done. Emily Beke.'
