About this item

Content

This file contains correspondence related to two subjects:

1) the hiring of an assistant to the adviser of the Government of Bahrain, Charles Belgrave. Much of this correspondence relates to the hiring of an individual named J M Luard in 1934. This section includes original letters in Arabic from Shaikh Ḥamad bin ‘Īsá Āl Khalīfah, the ruler of Bahrain expressing his approval of this step.

2) attempts by British officials to find an appropriate candidate to hire as a 'factor' (or agent) to manage the estate of Shaikh Ḥamad bin ‘Īsá Āl Khalīfah, the ruler of Bahrain. Much of this correspondence relates to the references and backgrounds of a number of Indian candidates for this position.
