Description:

Abstract: This file concerns the claim of the Sultan of Muscat and Oman [Sa‘īd bin Taymūr Āl Bū Sa‘īd] to Fujairah (transliterations vary throughout). The correspondence begins with the reported death of Shaikh Saif bin Hamad ash-Sharqi [Shaikh Saif bin Ḥamad Āl Sharqī], Ruler of Fujairah, on 24 December 1938. The rest of the file concerns the Sultan's claim that the Shaikh of Fujairah is a subject of Muscat.In the file the Political Agent and Consul at Muscat reports that he has received from the Sultan a passport – given by the Muscat Government to Shaikh Saif bin Hamad's brother and successor, Muhammad bin Hamad – so that the Political Agent may grant a visa for Muhammad bin Hamad's passage to Bahrain. The remaining correspondence is concerned with how the Political Agent should respond, since it is suspected that the granting of a visa would amount to the British recognising the Sultan's claim.The principal correspondents are the following: the Political Agent and Consul, Muscat; the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf; the Sultan of Muscat and Oman.The Arabic language material consists of a letter received by the Political Agent from the Sultan of Muscat and Oman (an English translation is included).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 20; 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 between ff 2-18; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled.
