- Title:
- File 36/3 Visit of U.S. Minister in 'Iraq
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding visits to Bahrain made by American officials based in Iraq.
Correspondence on folios 1-86 relates to visits made to Bahrain by Paul Knabenshue, the Minister Resident of the United States of America in Baghdad, in 1934 (folios 1-72), 1937 (folios 73-79) and 1940 (folios 80-86).
Further correspondence in the file relates to a visit to Bahrain made by Knabenshue's successor, Loy W Henderson, in March 1944 (folios 87-109). This section includes a note on Henderson's visit written by Major Tom Hickinbotham, Britain's Political Agent in Bahrain (folios 95-97).
The file also contains correspondence regarding a visit that Henderson's successor, George Wadsworth, planned to make to Bahrain in 1947 but that was eventually cancelled (folios 111-120).
The majority of the correspondence in the file is between British officials, but the file also includes a limited amount of correspondence with US officials, local rulers (some of which is in Arabic), and the Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO).
