*Broadley to Blunt, November 21st*: "Important crisis imminent. The friends of the Egyptian Government assert intention of hanging Arabi. Remain in London."
*Broadley to Blunt, November 21st*: "Nothing I could say could give you an idea of the infamous conduct of the Egyptian Government. They set our procedure rules at defiance, and say they do not care a curse, as they are treating diplomatically for the hanging of Arabi."
*Napier to Blunt, November 21st:* "We are simply fighting all the force of the Egyptian Government single-handed, though I believe Lord Dufferin will come to the rescue. They are striving to procure the judicial murder of these prisoners, and it takes all our time to meet their many wiles. Wilson and Dufferin are helping us, but they, the Egyptian Government, are quick and unscrupulous. We are necessarily more slow and cautious."
*Broadley to Blunt. Telegram. November 26th:* "Egyptian Government proposes to try Arabi alone. Telegraph your opinion."
*Broadley to Blunt. Telegram. November 27th:* "Letters explaining situation fully posted. Reason to believe if Arabi, Mahmud Sami and Toulba consent to admit formal charges of rebellion or continuing war against orders of the Khedive, the Egyptian Government will consent to exile or internment at the Cape of Good Hope, or elsewhere, some of the accused simple exile, the majority amnesty. I implore absolute secrecy. Napier and myself favourable to compromise seeing difficulty of proving efforts to prevent burning, etc."
