The majority of the correspondence in this file discusses the activities of a Bahraini named Abdullah Zeerah (also spelt Zireh).

The file contains translations of articles in the Iranian press regarding the incident. It also contains a typed copy in Arabic (with English translation) of an article about Britain's role in Bahrain that appeared in Al-Arab World on 10 February 1948.
The file also contains correspondence concerning demands for the formation of a legislative council in Bahrain.
On folios 25-26, the file contains a list of political and cultural clubs active in Bahrain with short political assessments of each one written by Britain's Political Agent in Bahrain, Cornelius James Pelly.
