Enclosure in Foreign Office covering letter, dated 10th May 1937.
Letter from Minister, Jedda, to Foreign Office, No. 46, dated the
19th April 1937.
Jedda, March 27, 1937.
To complete the record of the conversations with Ibn Sand which was
sent to you as the enclosure to my despatch No. 41 dated the 23rd March,
I have the honour to transmit translations of two documents :—
{1) A letter from Sheikh Yusuf Yasin in reply to a letter which I had
written to him in the sense of paragraph 17 of the record. I
had said that a map in our possession showed Araik as between
Qasr-as-Salwa and Jabal Naksh, and had asked whether His
Majesty’s definition did not leave Jabal Naksh to Qatar, but
Sheikh Yusuf Yasin’s letter does not admit my contention,
and implies that there is another Araik (Uraiq) between Jabal
Dukhan and Jabal Naksh.
(2) A note in which Ibn Saud amplifies statements made by him, in the
course of the conversations, about his position in regard to the
Arab rulers on the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
.
2. The questions referred to in these enclosures will be dealt with
separately.
3, Copies of this despatch and enclosures are being sent to Cario, Jeru
salem, Bagdad, Bushire and Aden.
Enclosure 1 to letter No. 46, dated the 19th April 1937.
Sheikh Yusuf Yasin to Sir E. Bullard.
(Translation.)
Dear Sir Reader Bullard, Jedda, March 23, 1937.
The moment I received your Excellency’s letter of the 23rd march, 1937,
I hastened to put right the point which your Excellency raised. In the inter
view I had in haste with your Excellency at your house just before noon on
Tuesday, the 10th Muharram (22nd March, 1937), I explained to you that
I did not believe that His Majesty the King, in his conversation to which you
referred, meant A1 Ureyq but Dukhan. There was a slip of the tongue. After
I left your Excellency I enquired of His Majesty concerning the actual fact,
and His Majesty stated that he did not intend that place, which is south of
Naksh, but the one which is south of Dukhan, which makes Naksh within the
Saudi * Arab Kingdom. During the conversation His Majesty did not
think of giving up the claim concerning the frontiers put forward by the Go
vernment of His Majesty. His Majesty’s statement was accidental and did
not concern the details of the case. The question was not one of discussing
the exact position of the frontiers, and I therefore think the question still
stands where it did.
Enclosure 2.
Note by Ibn Saud amplifying his Statements abend his Position in regard to
the Arab Eulers on the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.

(Translation.)
I have spoken clearly about the historical stages in the relations between
me and the British Government, all of which have been courteous and consis.
