- Abstract: The volume contains correspondence pertaining to attempts to address issues between Ibn Sa'ud and Britain's Persian Gulf interests and responsibilities. The main correspondents are James More (later Harold Dickson), Political Agent in Kuwait, Cyril Barrett (acting, then later Hugh Biscoe), Political Resident in Bushire, the Government of India, William Bond (later Andrew Ryan), Agent and Consul (later Chargé d'Affaires) in Jeddah, Charles Prior, Political Agent in Bahrain, the Colonial, Foreign, and India Offices, all in London, Ibn Sa'ud, ruler of Najd and the Hejaz, and Fuad Bey [Fu’ād Bey Hamza], Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs for the Hejaz.The main issues at hand are between Najd and Bahrain, and Najd and Kuwait. They include customs duties, trade relations, nationality and passports for Najd subjects, compensation for raids, official diplomatic representation for Najd in Bahrain and Kuwait, the conduct of Najd agents on the Kuwaiti frontier, and the ongoing blockade on Kuwaiti trade imposed by Ibn Sa'ud on his subjects.
