- Title:
- File 4/14 Property in Kuwait of Late Shaikh of Muhammarah (Khorramshahr)
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence regarding property in Kuwait that was previously owned by the late Shaikh Khaz'al bin Jābir al-Ka‘bī, the former ruler of Mohammerah [Khorramshahr]. In addition to the property itself, the belongings inside it are also discussed including a large number of rifles and ammunition.
The correspondence is mainly between British officials, primarily those of the Political Agency in Kuwait and the Political Residency in Bushire. However, the file also contains a limited amount of correspondence with the Ruler of Kuwait, Shaikh Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, a Basra-based lawyer who represented Shaikh Khaz'al's heirs named Muhammad Ahmad and the heirs themselves. Much of this correspondence is in Arabic accompanied by translations in English.
On folio 88, the file contains a blueprint plan of Shaikh Khaz'als property (or 'palace') in Kuwait.
