The volume consists of correspondence (copies, drafts and originals), minutes, and memoranda relating to the future constitution and administration of Mesopotamia [Iraq]. The subject of the volume is a request made by Arnold Talbot Wilson, Acting Civil Commissioner in Baghdad, to the India Office for specific papers concerning constitutional matters in Mesopotamia. These papers were connected to a letter from the War Office (No. 0152/5184, 5 January 1920 – not present in this volume) and include correspondence between Percy Cox, Acting Minister in Teheran [Tehran], and Lord Curzon [George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston], Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, plus several India Office memoranda on the subject.
