The principal correspondents in the file are the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, Lieutenant-Colonel Trenchard William Craven Fowle; the Political Agent in Bahrain, Lieutenant-Colonel Percy Gordon Loch; and the Assistant Political Agent in Bahrain, Meredith Worth.The file’s telegrams and file notes detail the reluctance of British officials to permit Harding to land in Bahrain, a British national who they mistakenly assumed to be American, fearing that he may be investigating the possibility of opening a branch of his bank on the islands.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover and terminates at the back cover; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
