Two letters are from Charles Norris, Chief Secretary to the Government, Bombay, acknowledging receipt of earlier letters concerning the Wahabee [Wahabi] tribe. One letter is from John Bax, Secretary to Government, Bombay, acknowledging receipt of a letter and a translation of Blane's correspondence with the Government Agent at Sharga, regarding the jurisdiction of the Wahabee chief on the Russul Kheema [Ra's al-Khaymah] coast.Physical description: Foliation: An original incomplete foliation sequence with gaps is present in the file between folios 1 and 6; these numbers are written in ink, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
