A letter from the Senior Naval Officer in the Persian Gulf (Commodore Cosmo Moray Graham) to the Political Agent at Bahrain, dated 22 January 1941 (f 2) encloses a letter from the Commander-in-Chief of the East Indies Station, dated 27 December 1940 (f 3), relating to port security and the resources required to check ships entering British ports. In his letter, Graham writes that the supervision of the landing of cargo at Bahrain should ensure there is no possibility of enemy persons or material being landed, to which the Political Agent, in a letter dated 26 January 1941, concurs (f 4).Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1 and terminates at the back cover with 7; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corners of the recto side of each folio.
