- Title:
- File 4722/1918 Pt 6 'Mesopotamia - Administration. Abdulla's proposed visit to London'
- Scope & Content:
-
The volume consists of telegrams, draft letters, and departmental notes concerning the proposed visit of Abdulla [‘Abdullāh bin Ḥusayn al-Hāshimī] to Cairo and London. The visits were proposed following suggestions that Abdulla's father, King Hussein [Ḥusayn bin ‘Alī al-Hāshimī] of the Hedjaz [Hejaz], might travel to London. Discussion of the merits of the visits takes place in light of the unsettled political situation in many parts of the Middle East following the First World War and the convening of the Damascus Conference [Syrian National Congress]. Correspondence is between officials at the Foreign Office, the India Office, and Lord Allenby [Field Marshal Edmund Henry Hynman Allenby, 1st Viscount Allenby], High Commissioner of Egypt.
The volume includes a divider which gives the subject number, the year the subject file was opened, the subject heading, and a list of correspondence references by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
