- Title:
- File 4/29 Activities of Shaikh Fahad as-Salim as-Subah
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence regarding an unofficial visit to Egypt that was made by Shaikh Fahad bin Salim al-Sabah and his desire to export two cars and a number of tyres from the country back to Kuwait. Some of this correspondence is between the Political Agency in Kuwait and the Ruler of Kuwait, Shaikh Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah and is in Arabic (with English translations).
The file also contains a letter from Major Maurice Patrick O'Connor Tandy, the Political Agent in Kuwait to Lieutenant-Colonel William Rupert Hay, the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, concerning the possibility of appointing a British financial adviser in Kuwait, which was partly intended to block Shaikh Fahad from obtaining control of the country's finances department.

- Physical Characteristics:
- Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 25; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 4-25; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence between ff 1-3, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
