- Title:
- File 8/43 Muscat State Affairs: Politics and relations of Muscat with other Arab Chiefs – Borders, Wadi al Qaur, Kalba and Ras al Khaimah
- Scope & Content:
-
This file primarily concerns relations between the Sultan of Muscat and Oman [Sa‘īd bin Taymūr Āl Bū Sa‘īd] and neighbouring Arab rulers.
The file begins with correspondence regarding a reported meeting between the Wali of Sohar, the Wali of Shinas and the Shaikh of Ras al Khaimah, a meeting that is considered by the British to be a violation of treaty terms by the Sultan of Muscat and Oman's officials (i.e. the aforementioned Walis), on the grounds that the foreign relations of Ras al Khaimah and the other Trucial states should be conducted through the British authorities. Also discussed in the file are the following: an exchange of correspondence between the Wali of Sohar and the Ruler of Ras al Khaimah, regarding the border at Wadi Qaur [Wādī al Qūr]; personal claims made by 'soldiers of fortune' against the Shaikh of Sharjah in relation to outstanding payments for their assistance in the capture of Sharjah; a tribal feud on the Oman-Kishn [Qishn] frontier.
Notable correspondents include the following: the Political Agent and Consul, Muscat; the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf; the Political Agent, Bahrain; the Residency Agent, Sharjah; the Sultan of Muscat and Oman; the Ruler of Ras al Khaimah [Shaikh Sulṭān bin Sālim Āl Qāsimī]; the Regent of Kalba [Shaikh Khālid bin Aḥmad bin Sultān Āl Qasimī].
The Arabic language material consists of correspondence between the Political Agent and Consul at Muscat and the Sultan of Muscat and Oman.

An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 2-82; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
