- File 4/11 Reuters Agency in Bahrain
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains copy correspondence arising from a visit made by Mr Boxall of Reuters News Agency to the Political Resident at Bahrain, to discuss company business. The correspondence consists of a memorandum (reference number Residency Endorsement 431-S) and a confidential letter (Dominions Office reference numbers D.O.607-S and D.O. 608-s), addressed to F.A.K. Harrison, The India Office, London. Both items were written by William Rupert Hay (Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, Bahrain) and copied to Cornelius James Pelly (Political Agent, Bahrain).
Hay reported that Mr Boxall of Reuters News Agency had asked him to pass on any news worthy of publication to Mr Meikle, Reuters correspondent in Bahrain, and to recommend a correspondent for Reuters in Kuwait. Hay sought the advice of Maurice Patrick O’Connor Tandy, British ambassador to Kuwait, who recommended Angus Macdonald of the Kuwait Oil Company for the position of Reuters correspondent in Kuwait.
