must elapse before an answer could be received.
Sheikh Youssef told me that no one knew with certainty
when the Xing would return. It was now thought that His
Majesty would stay in bejd until iBm&dan was over. That
would make it mid-April at least before he reached teecca,
and he naturally would have much to do on his return. I
pointed out that if Sir Gilbert Clayton did not meet
His Majesty before the beginning of May, the latter would
have little time to spare between the negotiations end
the opening of the pilgrimage, the culminating date of
which is June fcth. Sheikh Youssef agreed that there was
urgency in the matter.

About this item
- Content
The correspondence relates to the treaty negotiations which took place at Mecca between British Government representatives and Ibn Saud [‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Fayṣal Āl Sa‘ūd, also written in the correspondence as Bin Saud], King of the Hejaz and the Sultan of Nejd from November 1926 until May 1927, when the Treaty of Jeddah was signed, thus replacing its predecessor, the Anglo-Najdi friendship treaty of 1915.
The main correspondents are the following successive chief negotiators: Stanley Rupert Jordan, British Consul and Agent at Jeddah (assisted by George Habib Antonius, translator); and Gilbert Falkingham Clayton, His British Majesty's Envoy to Ibn Saud.
The earliest document is a 1918 Foreign Office Memorandum on British commitments to Ibn Saud. It includes a detailed account of the treaty negotiations, 1913-1915, between Bin Saud and Sir Percy Cox, the British Resident in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. , as well as the drafts and final text of the friendship treaty between the British Government and Ibn Saud, as signed on 26 December 1915 and ratified on 18 July 1916.
There is one item of correspondence in French dated November 1930. It is a letter of enquiry to the Foreign Office, from the French Ambassador to London, regarding French treaty negotiations with Ibn Saud and the latter's demand for assistance in obtaining a renewal of the supply of revenues from the Haramain Waqfs, which are Muslim endowments for the upkeep and improvement of religious shrines in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
