- Abstract: This file contains detailed tabulated trade reports (largely in Arabic) for the port of Kuwait for the year 1920-21. Expanded trade records are recorded on large folded sheets that organise the trade records according to method of transport (steam versus sailing ship), ports of origin, commodity, quantity, and value in rupees. Most of the trade tables record imports but a few also record exports from Kuwait. The few letters that precede the records pertain to an exchange between the Ruler of Kuwait, Ahmed Al Jabir Al Sabah [Shaikh Aḥmad al-Jābir Āl Ṣabāḥ], and the Political Agent in Kuwait.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 97; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 2-96; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled.
