Though only "An Examination of the Claims of Ishmael as Viewed by Muhammadans", the first chapter of the first section was published, John Drew Bate had envisaged and drafted a much larger work. The two handwritten drafts of John Drew Bate's work on Islamic Studies show the extent of his work.

A handwritten draft, mainly written on thin blue paper, the draft also being heavily annotated

Handwritten on lined, foolscap paper, this draft appears to be a neater version of the first. Has accompanying Royal Asiatic Society label "BATE, Islamic Studies. MSS - prepared for continuation Missionaries Vade Mecum"

Two drafts of a manuscript exploring The Lord's Prayer

This is an early draft of the manuscript. it can be dated to the period around 1895-1898 because Bate created his own notebooks by cutting up pieces of paper, including "The Statesman Weekly".

This is a neater draft of the manuscript, possibly dating to around 1915 - an envelope used as a label is postmarked for 1915.

Bate produced a series of articles under the heading of India as a Field of Missions which were published in 1899. These papers contain handwritten manuscripts for the articles "The Story of Shri Bishwas Dhar", "The Story of Kapil Babu" and "the Story of Manorama", a proof copy of No.5 and the series of articles taken out of their original magazines.

There is also a newspaper clipping from "Freeman, 1881" giving details of man's conversion to Christianity from a Hindu family. There is also a typed version of the story of Kopil Babu.

This is a handwritten article about Hindi music - a 'neat' copy with no annotations. It is undated but accompanying it are 2 newspaper clippings from "The Times of India" concerning the Revival of Indian Music in Indian Schools, dated 3rd August, 1930. These therefore must have been put with the article at a later date, possibly by E E Bate

These papers contain two handwritten drafts of the article. One draft is written on pages created from cutting up newsheets which are dated 1895. The second version, though undated, is probably of a later date and it has an accompanying draft of a letter from John Drew Bate, probably to the Royal Asiatic Society, in response to an article published in a Journal regarding the origin of Phoenician and Indian alphabets.
