Description:

Abstract: This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding visits to Bahrain made by American officials based in Iraq.Correspondence on folios 1-86 relates to visits made to Bahrain by Paul Knabenshue, the Minister Resident of the United States of America in Baghdad, in 1934 (folios 1-72), 1937 (folios 73-79) and 1940 (folios 80-86).Further correspondence in the file relates to a visit to Bahrain made by Knabenshue's successor, Loy W Henderson, in March 1944 (folios 87-109). This section includes a note on Henderson's visit written by Major Tom Hickinbotham, Britain's Political Agent in Bahrain (folios 95-97).The file also contains correspondence regarding a visit that Henderson's successor, George Wadsworth, planned to make to Bahrain in 1947 but that was eventually cancelled (folios 111-120).The majority of the correspondence in the file is between British officials, but the file also includes a limited amount of correspondence with US officials, local rulers (some of which is in Arabic), and the Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO).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 136; 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 2-120; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled, and are located in the same position as the main sequence.
