Specifically, the correspondence in the file relates to the confrontation between the forces of the Ikhwan and Ibn Sa'ud that took place at the Battle of Sabilla in March 1929, the closure of the road between Kuwait and Zubair and other issues related to tribal movements and disturbances in and around the Iraq-Kuwait border.
