Abstract: A letter and a short postscript, in which Arthur William Moore writes to the British Government describing an ongoing financial dispute between the chiefs of Shahr and Makulla, two principal ports on the south coast of Arabia. The author mentions the likelihood of the region falling into Turkish hands should the dispute continue, and outlines British attempts therefore to settle it. The dispute remains ongoing at the time the postscript was written.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at folio 41, and terminates at folio 46, as it is part of a larger volume; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
