- Abstract: This file contains correspondence relating to the successor to Shaikh Hamad, Ruler of Bahrain. Correspondence is mainly between Hugh Weightman, Political Agent, Bahrain; Trenchard Craven Fowle, Political Resident, Persian Gulf; and Shaikh Hamad, Ruler of Bahrain. The papers discuss four possible heirs: Abdullah bin Isa; Salman bin Hamad; Abudullah bin Hamad; and Mohammed bin Isa.The correspondence discusses the role Britain should play in the nomination, as well as how Hamad's decision was to be recorded and made public. It also includes six photographs of Shaikh Hamad signing a document nominating Salman as heir. Documents include a family tree (folio 97) of the Al Khalifa and a diagram (folio 115) of the seating arrangement for the durbar of Salman bin Hamad.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 72; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 2-66; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled, and are located in the same position as the main sequence. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
