and to principal Representatives of Moslems in Fast Indies and
Netherlands through Holland« Addressees would be informed cf re
quest made by supreme^ Council of Jerusalem by this telegram and
their views as to proposed Conference elicited by it* Very early
T
intimation as to whether there is any objection to his sending
these telegrams is requested by Faisal. I consider he will, if we
object blame us for interfering in purely Moslem affair, while
if wo consent he will probably receive considerable number of re
buffs. They© may enlighten (him?) as to true attitude of Moslems r f
other countries towards Hedjaz question and his family more than
any arguments of mine can do. Instructions to inform him that there
is no objection to his proposals may be sent early.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to the British Government's relationship with Ibn Sa'ud [‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Fayṣal Āl Sa‘ūd].
In chronological order, the correspondence relates specifically to the capture of Taif by Wahhabi forces, the abdication of King Husain of the Hejaz (and the appointment of his son Ali as his successor), arrangements to evacuate pilgrims from the Hejaz and finally, the capture of Mecca by Wahhabi forces. As well as correspondence, the file contains a number of detailed accounts of these events that were written by the British Agent in Jeddah, Reader William Bullard.
The majority of the correspondence in the file is between British officials, but the file also contains a limited amount of correspondence from Ibn Sa'ud and officials of the Government of Hejaz. These letters are translated into English and the file does not contain copies of the Arabic originals.
The file contains English translations of two proclamations that were delivered by Ibn Sa'ud in October and November 1924 (folios 189-190 and 236).
