- Description:
- Abstract: The volume consists of telegrams, draft letters, and departmental notes concerning the proposed visit of Abdulla [‘Abdullāh bin Ḥusayn al-Hāshimī] to Cairo and London. The visits were proposed following suggestions that Abdulla's father, King Hussein [Ḥusayn bin ‘Alī al-Hāshimī] of the Hedjaz [Hejaz], might travel to London. Discussion of the merits of the visits takes place in light of the unsettled political situation in many parts of the Middle East following the First World War and the convening of the Damascus Conference [Syrian National Congress]. Correspondence is between officials at the Foreign Office, the India Office, and Lord Allenby [Field Marshal Edmund Henry Hynman Allenby, 1st Viscount Allenby], High Commissioner of Egypt.The volume includes a divider which gives the subject number, the year the subject file was opened, the subject heading, and a list of correspondence references by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the first folio with 1 and terminates at the last folio with 20; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.The foliation sequence does not include the front and back covers, nor does it include the leading and ending flyleaves.
