His Highness Shaikh Sir Hamad bin 1 Isa al Khalifah,
K.C.I.E., C.3.I., Huler of Bahrain, to the Political
Agent, Bahrain,
After Compliments.
We have to inform you that we have heard that
Shaikh Abdullah bin Jasim is building at Zubara.
We take this opportunity to point out that
we regard this action as illegal because Zubara is
our town and contains our cemeteries and mosques.
This is what was to have been said and
Salaams.

The correspondence covers the period immediately following the events and continues for several years until 1946. It contains details of British mediation efforts between the two sides and also includes the text (in English and Arabic) of a reconciliation agreement between the two sides from 1944.
The file also contains a translation of an Arabic-language letter published in the Cairo publication 'Rabitat Al Arabieh' (f. 25). The letter is from a Bahraini and argues that the British had sided with Qatar in the conflict regarding Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as they were afraid that if under Bahraini control, the concession for oil deposits near the town would be given to an American (as opposed to British) oil company as had been done in Bahrain.
