,
Bahrain,
A.C.
Reference our conversation witn you on 6th
February 1945,
During the conversations I explained to you
about our subjects who are in Bahrain and who, in
the past, used to go to places on Qatar land to
which they used to go in the past for grazing. It
was customary fox' them in the past that they were
not interfered witn by anyone. You approved of
their going as usual and I did order theux to go as
it was their custom. Cn their landing at the usual
places, one of the followers of shaikh Abdulla named
Hamad al-Qahtani, came and settled near them in a
tent. He mentioned to them that by order of Shaikh .
Abdulla no one has to go to Bahrain without per
mission, nor has he.right in the rations of Bahrain.
This is the man about whom I mentioned to you on 22nd
February in our letter of 9th Rabi auwal 1364. O '/our
Excellency, I am very much aggrieved for the interven
tion to my followers and subjects, which were £iot
done in the past. I write you this with my much
grievance. I shall be pleased if I and my subjects
are (left) in peace and comfort of these disturoarices
and I do not like these changes as I mentioned to you
in my previous letter.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence regarding the situation after hostilities that occurred between the Al Naim tribe (supported by Bahrain) and Qatar in Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. in June and July 1937.
The correspondence covers the period immediately following the events and continues for several years until 1946. It contains details of British mediation efforts between the two sides and also includes the text (in English and Arabic) of a reconciliation agreement between the two sides from 1944.
The file also contains a translation of an Arabic-language letter published in the Cairo publication 'Rabitat Al Arabieh' (f. 25). The letter is from a Bahraini and argues that the British had sided with Qatar in the conflict regarding Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as they were afraid that if under Bahraini control, the concession for oil deposits near the town would be given to an American (as opposed to British) oil company as had been done in Bahrain.
