Description:

Abstract: The volume contains letters, telegrams, and memoranda relating to affairs between the British Mandate of Iraq and the Kingdom of Najd and the Hejaz, ruled by Ibn Sa'ud. Most of the correspondence is between the Political Residency in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, the High Commissioner in Baghdad, the Colonial Office in London, the Government of India, and Ibn Sa'ud himself.The majority of the volume contains documents relating to affairs along the Najd-Iraq border and is concerned with planning and preparations for a tribunal to settle claims for compensation between the two parties, as stipulated in the Bahra Agreement. The latter half of the volume contains documents relating to an attack by Ikhwan forces on a military post in Basaiyah [al-Başīyah], Iraq, that marked the beginning of the Ikhwan Revolt.Physical description: Foliation: the sequence starts from the spine (which has been separated from the volume) and terminates on the inside back cover. The numbers are written in pencil, circled, and are found in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. There are the following irregularities: 1A, 1B, and 1C; 2A and 2B. A second, inconsistent sequence runs between folios 3-223. The numbers are also written in pencil in the same place as the main sequence, but they are not circled.
