Saleh bin Mana asked permission to see me this
morning and I granted him an interview at 9•30. He
replied that he was busy at that time and I altered the
time to 12 noon. My reason for making this alteration was
that I had been informed that he was upset because a recent
letter from me had been addressed to Shaikh Nasir and I
had not mentioned his name, and I did not want any possi
bility of the negotiations being in any way obstructed by
pique on the part of one of the negotiators. On his arri
val I pointed out to him that he had made an incorrect
statement to me at the previous meeting when he stated that
he had made three applications to see me and that the

Nasir bin Atieh as the near relative of Shaikh 'Abdullah
bin Qassiro was naturally and socially a more important
individual and therefore I had addressed my communication
to him, that I considered they had both equal standing as
negotiators and that my addressing Shaikh Nasir was not

in the method of addressing the Sa'udi representatives when
they came to discuss matters some years ago with the repre

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to tensions between Bahrain (and the Al Naim tribe) and Qatar concerning the ownership of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. on the Qatar peninsula that took place between March and June 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe were 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 mediated between the two sides. The file contains extensive details of this mediation process.
