- Description:
- Abstract: The file contains correspondence in the form of letters that are related to the arrangement of visits between the Political Agent, Bahrain and some of the Emirs and notables from Saudi Arabia. Letters of thanks were exchanged after the visits took place.The Political Agent, Bahrain and the Saudi Emirs also exchanged petitions on behalf of some locals of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia respectively. The petitions were mainly regarding the claims of debts, properties, or stolen boats. Debtors from Saudi Arabia fled to Bahrain, hence the Saudi Emirs wrote to the Political Agent, Bahrain, requesting for those who fled to be seized. The Political Agent in turn replied with the available information about the named subjects at his end. The same procedure was done with the Bahraini debtors who fled to Saudi Arabia. The file also includes some letters from merchants such as Abdulaziz al-Qusaibi, informing the Political Agent about their intentions to travel to Qatif to visit a certain notable, to recover some debts, or for trade purposes.Most of the correspondence in the file is in Arabic. Folios 116-122 are file notes.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 123; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
