Reference your Memo Ho.139/C dated 29th August 1921.
The following is an extract from Ibn Baud'§ letter
of 13th Shawwal referring to the question of the Hajd-Kuwait
boundary:-
"As to the delimitation of the boundaries between us
"and Kuwait,the matter lies with Your Excellency as I
"have given you authority to settle it. As Your
"Excellency and H.II.Government have found fit to
"consider the zone between Al-Jahrah and Al-Sabahyeh
"I mean the land within the red circle - as a
"Huqata'at under Kuwait I acquiesce for the sake of
"pleasing our friend, K.?\Government. But the zone
"shown on the map between the red and the green
"circle is our undisputable property as has been
"acknowledged by H # H.Shaikh Ahmed Jabir Al-oabah
"during his visit to our Najd territories.
"How that he has acceded to the Shaikhdom of
"Kuwait and as long as the friendly relations which
"have been resumed continue between us and him we
"shall extend our protection to the cattle belonging
"to natives of Kuwait during their travels in the
"territories of Hajd".
His Excellency has replied that he is gla'd to have
received Ibn Baud's assurances,but has not discussed further
the actual problem of the boundary. Please ascertain whetner
Ibn Baud's claim that H.H.Shaikh Ahmed al Jabbar accepts his
views is correct or not. On receipt of this information it
will be possible ~to proceed further.
Secretary to
His Excellency the High Commissioner for
’ Iraq.
