Intrigues and lies of her if Faisal from him (Bin Bhalan).
In fact the affair of the herifo is very difficult in hese
days. I received news that most of the raids commit ed
on our tribesmen are by the robbers of Mutalr* 1 received
news that Sherif Paisal is encouraging them (Mutair) for
these robberies and other things and giving shelter to the
refugees. his is a clear proof that he is the cause of
these robberies. 0 A.bdul Aziz this matter is now unbearable!
If the opponents were the Sheriff and those like them they
would have been defeated and we pray for help from God, but
the thing is that the Government has intervened beiwen us.
hey (Government) neither check the intrigues of the Sherif
against us nor leave us to see what to do with 'ham. If
the object was the plunder of a camel or something of that
sort we could bear it and all the enemies will be overtaken,
but the people of iiejd have been excited and annoyed about
his ma ter and have communica ed with me and with the haikhs
~8. hey ©aid among other things that Abdul Aziz has
undoubtedly agreed (to he intrigues etc.), but we are always
giving them assurances and even the Ulema have understood
something about he ma> ter. l ow take up the matter soon,
as I am afraid something may happen for which you may be held
responsible by he Government. You should inform them
(Government) so that one of the two matters be done; either
an arrangement be made with them for checking the mischief-
•makers and their attacks on our tribesmen or we should be
excused if anything happens. You should impress on them
(Government) hat it will occur. he people have been
annoyed and the ma.ter of the Akhwan ana their fear are not
hidden from you. here is no reason for your keeping
quiet now. Hurry up he ma ter. I have received news
in these days hat the Itubayedh, An avis, .ubbeh and Hajar al
Iktmmadeh have sen for their roops and in end to march out.

About this item

Content

The volume contains letters, telegrams, and memoranda relating to affairs between the British Mandate of Iraq and The Kingdom of Najd and the Hejaz, ruled by Ibn Sa'ud. Most of the correspondence is between the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, the High Commissioner in Baghdad, the Colonial Office in London, the Government of India, Ibn Sa'ud himself and his delegates.

The majority of the volume is concerned with cross-border raids and counter raids between Iraq and Najd and efforts to put a stop to them. With the British attempting to mediate, the raids were carried out by the Ikhwan and tribal groups in Iraqi and Kuwaiti territory, including sections of the 'Ajman, Mutayr, Shammar, Awazim, 'Utaibah, Harb, and Dahamshah tribes. The documents reflect the divergent opinions among British officials on what British policy should be in the region as well as the inadequacies of the borders as they were defined. The volume ends with efforts to set up a tribunal to settle claims of compensation between the two governments as stipulated in the Bahra Agreement.
