- Abstract: This volume concerns the Sultan of Muscat and Oman's [Sa‘īd bin Taymūr Āl Bū Sa‘īd] travels abroad. It includes discussion of proposed visits in 1937/1938 to India, Singapore, Japan, the United States, London, France, and Italy. Most of the correspondence discusses arrangements for the Sultan's confirmed tour of India in November 1937, which includes a state visit to New Delhi to meet the Viceroy (Victor Alexander John Hope, 2nd Marquess of Linlithgow). Also covered are the following: the British Government's disappointment at not being informed by the Sultan regarding his plans for a European tour and a possible visit to the United States; plans for the Sultan to visit his father [Taymūr bin Fayṣal bin Turkī Āl Bū Sa‘īd] in Japan; discussion as to whether the Sultan should be afforded the status of state guest during his visit to London.The volume features the following principal correspondents: the Political Agent and Consul, Muscat; the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf; the Secretary of State for India; the Viceroy of India; the Sultan of Muscat and Oman; officials of the Government of India's External Affairs Department, the Foreign Office, the India Office, and the Colonial Office.The Arabic language material consists of correspondence between the Political Agent and the Sultan and his representatives.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the inside front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 228; 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 A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
