Dear Sharjah,
In connexion with the frontier negotiations
we have practically no evidence to support our Abu
Dhabi claim on the grounds of fairly recent use of
the area from Sabkhat Matti to the boundary of the
Qatar oil concession or to rebut any Saudi claim
that their tribes frequent the area. P.C.L. landed
vehicles between Khor el Odaid and Sabkhat Matti in
1937 and made a geological survey of which we have
secured a copy. What we should like now is informa
tion as specific as possible regarding the use made
by people of the
Trucial Coast
A name used by Britain from the nineteenth century to 1971 to refer to the present-day United Arab Emirates.
(particularly Abu Dhabi),
Qatar and Oman of the Abu Dhabi - Qatar caravan route
nearest the coast.
2. The report from Qatar of which a copy was sent
to you under our printed letter No.C/S-122 of today's
date has some bearing on this matter.
3. Will you please have searching enquiries made
and report as soon as possible?
Yours ever,
