- Abstract: A handwritten note from [Arthur William Moore?] to the Vice-Consul in Tehran, Harry Lionel Churchill, in which the author suggests that the British formally declare a Protectorate over a portion of the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden recently evacuated by the Egyptians. However, he warns against extending the Protectorate to territory not previously under Egyptian control, on the grounds that the British would then become financially liable for the protection of shipping in an area particularly hazardous for shipping.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at folio 92, and terminates at folio 95, as it is part of a larger volume; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
