Abstract: This file contains correspondence between the Political Agency in Kuwait and the Political Residency in Bushire related to the establishment of a quarantine station at Kuwait after an outbreak of plague in Bahrain. In particular, the file contains correspondence on some disagreements with the ruler of Kuwait regarding the establishment of the station. The file's various letters also contain discussions on compliance with the Paris Sanitary Convention on quarantine regulations and the Ottoman government's demands for compliance with them.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1 and terminates at the inside back cover with 97; 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 mixed foliation/pagination sequence is also present in parallel between ff 3-85; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
