- Title:
- 'File No. B/1 V. O. Miscellaneous Correspondence with the Shaikh and Notables of Qatar.’
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains correspondence in the form of petitions and letters mainly between the Political Agent, Bahrain and the Ruler of Qatar. The two exchanged petitions on behalf of locals from Bahrain and Qatar respectively. The petitions were mainly regarding claims of debts, properties, stolen boats and inheritance. Debtors from Qatar fled to Bahrain, hence the Ruler of Qatar requested for them to be seized. The Political Agent in turn replied with the available information about the named subjects at his end. The same procedure was done with the Bahraini debtors who fled to Qatar.
The file includes correspondence regarding the arrangement of visits of the Political Agent, Bahrain to Doha. It also includes correspondence regarding the progress the British Army was making during The Second World War in which the Ruler of Qatar sent his congratulations to the Political Agency in Bahrain.
Most of the correspondence in the file is in Arabic. Folios 143-151 are file notes.
