A/C.
Your Highness will remember that at our last meeting
you informed me when we were discussing the matter you
considered that the terms of your present treaty with Great
Britain adequately satisfied your requirements and thai, you
did not as^ for any alteration if it was well understood
that you were safe against attach in the future by the States
of the Hejaz, Trans-Jordania and 'Iraq. •
I referred this point to His liajesty's Government and
they direct me to inform Tour Highness that the States
of Trans-Jordania and 'Iraq being at present under the
British Mandate they cannot be regarded by His Majesty^
Government or yourself as foreign Powers", but His
Majesty's Government in vertue of their responsibility for
the Government of those territories under their Mandate will
naturally not permit any act of aggression on their part
against Nejd.
As regards the case of the Hejaz, I am to say that a
Treaty between His Majesty the King of He.jaz and Great
Britain is under negotiation and it is hoped will
soon be concluded. His Majesty's Government would like to
await its conclusion before replying to v our Highness in that
connection. Meanwhile you may rest assured that they will do
' I
their utmost as Mtherto to promote the maintenance of friendly
"belations between the two States*

About this item
- Content
The volume mostly consists of correspondence concerning the relations between Britain and Ibn Sa'ud, with a specific focus on the negotiation and signing of the Treaty of Jeddah. The majority of the correspondence is between the British Legation in Jeddah and the Foreign and Colonial Offices in London. Copies were often sent to the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, and the High Commissioners in Baghdad and Jerusalem.
The volume follows the evolution of the Treaty:
- Britain's initial reluctance, due to their official friendship with King Hussein, to engage with the issue prior to Ibn Sa'ud's conquest of the Hejaz;
- how this event then gave cause for the Bahra and Hadda agreements of November 1925;
- the negotiations between Ibn Sa'ud and Gilbert Clayton in early 1927 leading to the signing of the Treaty of Jeddah on 20 May that year and its ratification in August.
At the end of the volume (folios192-196) is Clayton's final report on his mission to the Hejaz and includes a copy of the Treaty.
