- Description:
- Abstract: Correspondence between the Political Agent at Kuwait (Major Maurice O’Connor Tandy), the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf (Lieutenant-Colonel Arnold Crawshaw Galloway), and officials at the India Office and Foreign Office in London, concerning a request from the King of Saudi Arabia, Ibn Saud [‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Fayṣal Āl Sa‘ūd] that his trade agent at Kuwait be permitted to fly the Saudi Arabian flag on Fridays. Discussion centres on the grounds for rejection of the request (international convention, local custom), and the Ruler of Kuwait’s [Shaikh Aḥmad al-Jābir Āl Ṣabāḥ] reluctance to issue a general prohibition on the flying of foreign flags, for want of damaging relations with Ibn Saud.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 32; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
