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].
The correspondence primarily relates to the military capabilities of the Government of Hejaz, the conquest of the cities of Medina and Jeddah by Ibn Sa'ud's forces, the abdication of King Ali of the Hejaz and the establishment of Ibn Sa`ud's administration in Jeddah. As well as correspondence, the file contains a number of detailed accounts of these events that were written approximately once every two weeks by the British Agent in Jeddah, Reader William Bullard, and from August 1925 onwards, Stanley R Jordan .
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 a number of Indian Islamic organisations. These letters are translated into English and the file does not contain copies of the Arabic originals.
The file also contains a number of extracts from the Mecca-based newspaper Umm al-Qura that are primarily related to proclamations made by Ibn Sa'ud. These extracts are translated into English and the file does not contain the original Arabic articles.
