- Abstract: The volume contains letters, telegrams, memoranda, and reports pertaining to relations between Najd and Iraq. The correspondence is between Harold Dickson, Political Agent in Kuwait, Hugh Biscoe, Political Resident in Bushire, Lord Passfield, Secretary of State for the Colonies in London, William Bond, Charge d'Affaires in Jeddah, Francis Humphrys, High Commissioner in Iraq, John Chancellor, High Commissioner in Palestine, Robert Brooke-Popham, Air Officer Commanding in Iraq, Arthur Henderson, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in London, the Government of India, Sheikh Ahmed al-Jabar al-Sabah, Sheikh of Kuwait, Ibn Sa'ud, King of Najd and the Hejaz, and Charles Prior, the Political Agent in Bahrain.The volume covers the unsettled period following the collapse of the Ikhwan rebellion against Ibn Sa'ud's rule when many rebel tribes sought sanctuary in Iraq and Kuwait. The documents discuss the whereabouts of some of the leaders (Faisal ad-Dawish, Naif al-Hithlain, ibn Mashhur, ibn Lami and ibn Shiblan) and their tribes (mainly Ajman and Mutair), and what to do with them should they surrender. The negotiations of their surrender and those to secure an agreed return to Najd is also discussed, the latter in some detail following meetings between the Political Resident and Ibn Sa'ud himself. Restitution of property lost during raids is also discussed and negotiated.The volume also covers a dialogue on the idea of a meeting between King Faisal of Iraq and Ibn Sa'ud.At the back (folios 286-87) are internal office notes.Physical description: Foliation: The main sequence runs from the front cover to the back cover. The numbering is written in pencil, circled and found in the top right corner of each folio. Foliation anomalies: 1A, 1B; 4A, 4B; 5A, 5B; 258A, 258B, 258C; 261A, 261B; 282A, 282B; 285A, 285B, 285C. Fold-out folios: 241, 244, 245, 249. In addition, two Arabic letters (folios 258B-258C and 261B) are folded and enclosed in envelopes. The back of each envelope has been attached by adhesive to a separate blank page (folios 258A and 261A). There are a number of strips of blank, re-used paper towards the back of the volume, along the fold of the spine. These paper strips originally formed the left hand margin of sheets of paper that are not present in the volume. Three of the paper strips are numbered 282B, 285B and 285C. The other twelve paper strips are unnumbered. A secondary and inconsistent foliation sequence is also written in pencil in the top right corner of most of the folios in the volume, but is not circled.Condition: broken spine cover.
