Your Majesty,
WITH reference to article IV of the Treaty of Jeddah, I have the honour to
confirm the statements I made to your Majesty in the course of our conversations, in
which I stated that the sole object of the insertion of that article in the treaty is, first,
to establish the present procedure formally, and, secondly, to furnish His Britannic
Majesty's Government with such assurances as might enable them to bring that
procedure to the notice of all Moslems in British territories.
I wish, moreover, to assure your Majesty that the presence of that article in the
treaty does not affect and will not be interpreted as affecting the procedure relating to
the belongings of deceased persons other than pilgrims, which remains subject to the
rules of reciprocity which are the basis of the usual practice between independent
countries.
Respects.

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.
