Bear Walton,
Many tha iks for your letter No.P.Z.6519/31, of
October 27th, regarding the desirability of arranging for
the exmination of historical arguments in connexion with
the Persian claim to Bahrein. We note that all the
relevant papers in the lovernment of India's archives are
available in the

and can be produced at a
moment 1 s notice. This is satisfactory, so far as it
goes.
We had not, however, originally intended to
suggest the desirability of undertaking at the present
stage an examination of the

records. Such an
examination will probably add little or nothing to our
knowledge of the history of Bahrein prior to 1783, as set
forth in oaragraphs 3 and 4 of Sir A.Chamberlain's note of
February 18th, 1929, to the Persian Minister in London.
What we had in mind was rather an examination by some well
qualified expert in oriental languages and history into the
early history of the islands, by means of research in tte
works of certai n Moslem and other historians, especially of
those who are likely to be quoted by the Persian Government
in support of their thesis that Bahrein always was in
Persian possession before 1783, except during the
Portuguese occupation from 1507 to 1622.
