This file contains correspondence related to the British Government's relationship with Ibn Sa'ud [‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Fayṣal Āl Sa‘ūd] and related political developments.
Specifically, the correspondence in the file relates to tribal movements and disturbances in and around the Iraq-Kuwait border, the closure of the road between Kuwait and Zubair and the killing of an American missionary named Henry Bilkert.

In addition to correspondence, the file also contains a report on the situation in the Southern Desert of Iraq and Ibn Sa'ud's territory of Najd that was written by the Special Service Officer in Basra (folios 37-41).
