After Greeting,
Let it be known to you that your esteemed letter of the
25th Rabi al Thanl, favoured by Captain Eraser your Assistant,
tea reached us and its contents have been understood# Your
expressions of friendship and goodwill render us deeply grateful
as also your counsels whicn are replete with benefit. After
receiving your letter we called on Gap t-, in Fraser who made clear to
us the meaning and purport of your letter whicn we understand to be
that Government having * in view our gooa and advantage had deemed
it advisable to prohibit interference in affairsoia the mainland
and especially at Zobarah.
We have obeyed, and followed txie order, and will not
endeavour except in subjection; and our purpose is, in conformity
with your order, to abandon tne affairs of Zobarah, and interference
tnerein, completely. God willing we will not, so long as we live,
engage in any matter disapproved of by Government, nor will we do
anything that may involve us in trouble. But the British Govern
ment weife.ve neither asylum nor protector.
The reason of our not interfering in the affairs of Zobarah
aw tnia time is simply obedience to the orders of Goreminent, not
that our rights nave become invalid or extinct.
We trust that tne British Government will be propitious to
Us and permit us to possess it (Zobarah) again for it has been ours
f rom ancient times and we nave now yielded of necessity.
That t.ieae matters may be made manifest to you we have sent

About this item
- Content
File contains correspondence related to hostilities that occurred between the forces of Shaikh Abdullah bin Qassim Al Thani of Qatar and the Al Naim tribe that took place in June and July 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe was allied to the Al Khalifa ruling family of Bahrain who claimed Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as a part of their own territory (the family had been based there before their conquest of Bahrain in 1783). The British authorities did not recognise the Al Khalifa's claim to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and did not intervene on their behalf. Hostilities ended in July 1937 and Shaikh Rashid bin Muhammad, Chief of the Al Naim tribe, agreed to recognise the rule of the Al Thani family over Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. .
The file also contains a map of Qatar (folio 164) and four aerial photographs of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. (folios 160-163).
