About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to the British Government's relationship with Ibn Sa'ud [‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Fayṣal Āl Sa‘ūd].
In chronological order, the correspondence relates specifically to the capture of Taif by Wahhabi forces, the abdication of King Husain of the Hejaz (and the appointment of his son Ali as his successor), arrangements to evacuate pilgrims from the Hejaz and finally, the capture of Mecca by Wahhabi forces. As well as correspondence, the file contains a number of detailed accounts of these events that were written by the British Agent in Jeddah, Reader William Bullard.
The majority of the correspondence in the file is between British officials, but the file also contains a limited amount of correspondence from Ibn Sa'ud and officials of the Government of Hejaz. These letters are translated into English and the file does not contain copies of the Arabic originals.
The file contains English translations of two proclamations that were delivered by Ibn Sa'ud in October and November 1924 (folios 189-190 and 236).
