- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence relating to the region of Dhofar and the authority of the Sultan of Muscat over it. The letters are primarily exchanges between the British government in Bombay, the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, as well as copies of less frequent letters from Sultan Turki bin Said, Omar bin Saleh, the Naqeeb of Mukalla, and Sayyid Fadhl, the Amir of Dhofar. The subject of the letters concerns the authority of the Sultan in Dhofar, and specifically, British views on how to secure it.
Most of the Arabic letters are copies transcribed and signed by Darwish Ahmed working on behalf of the British government. Translations of the Arabic letters are all included in folios immediately preceding or after the letters themselves.
