The letter is a covering letter (folio 3), enclosing an administrative report (prepared by the Assistant to the Resident, Herbert Disbrowe) containing a narrative of events occurring at Muscat, Bahrain, and the Maritime Arab States, for the administrative year ending 30 April 1856. Jones writes that a separate report on the slave trade, covering the period October 1844 to 30 April 1857, will follow. Following Jones’s letter is a chronological table and index (folios 4-5), which list occurrences in the Gulf between the period May 1855 and April 1856, though not in a strict chronological order. Each occurrence has a page number, although it is unclear how the page numbers refer to the report, which has no consistent original pagination sequence.
