{Received on 16th March 1935, with Political Secretary's letter No. 9, dated 28th
February 1935.)
Enclosure in Foreign Office covering letter No. 9, dated 28th February 1935.
Telegram from His Majesty’s Minister, Jedda, to the Foreign Office No. 33,
DATED THE 20TH FEBRUARY 1935. (REPEATED TO TllANS-JoRDAN No. 31.)
My telegram No. 19 [Serial No. (16)] to Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan .
As Fuad expressed no wish to reconsider terms of note of February 3rd I sent
translation to High Commissioner and 1 oreign Office by despatch on 12th February.
He has now sent personal letter in reply to one from me giving particulars of note
exchanged last year. He states that Shaib Thaniyya Taraif is a large Shaib
(valley or water-course) beginning- on Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan frontier and ending in Saudi
territory. Statement that it is in Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan is therefore incorrect. He expresses
the hope of coming to a clear understanding with me on subject at an early meeting.
Previous Saudi communication described place in question with reference to
distance from named places given differently in each. Fuad’s present description
suggests that he is relying on 1918 map.
Addressed to Foreign OfficeNo. 33, repeated to Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan No. 31.

1935.
Telegram from the High Commissioner for Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan , to His Majesty’s
Minister Jedda, No. 7, dated the 20th February 1935. (Repeated
to Colonial Office, No. 9.j
Your No. 19 [Serial No. (16)]. No boundary marks have been placed in Thaniyya
Taraif Area at any time but complaints may refer to cairns erected in September
last to mark Trans Jordan Frontier car tracks which have been regularly used for
some years by routine patrols.
Enclosure to Serial No. (20).
Telegram from the High Commissioner for Trans Jordon, to His Majesty’s
Minister Jedda, No. 8, dated the 21st February 1935. (Repeated to
Colonial Office No. 10.)
My No. 7. I now observe that Prain reports having fixed a cairn to the south
of Khabra Atig. This spot appears to be about six miles south-west of Thani-
yaja Taraif so I assume that this is not mark referred to by S. Government but
you may like to be prepared for a complaint on this score.
Prain was in Tubaik area from 31st October to 5th November.
