- Abstract: The file concerns Bahrain alone, and not, as the title states, Saudi Arabia.The file contains two letters dated September 1949 from the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf (Lieutenant-Colonel Sir William Rupert Hay) concerning a visit to Bahrain by a representative of the Pakistan State Bank. The letters state that the representative was principally concerned about discrimination against Pakistan currency, and also proposed to recommend the opening of a branch of the bank in Bahrain. The file includes copies of correspondence dated 1944 showing that the Ruler of Bahrain (Shaikh Sir Salman bin Hamad al Khalifah [Salmān bin Ḥamad Āl Khalīfah]) had agreed at that time not to permit the opening of any additional bank in Bahrain for a period of ten years.The file includes a divider, and a list (folio 2) of correspondence references contained in the file 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 9; 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; these numbers are printed, and are not circled. The foliation sequence does not include the front and back covers.
