Sir G. Clayton to His Majesty the King of the Hejaz and of Nejd and its Dependen
cies.
Your Majesty,
I have the honour to remind your Majesty that, in the course of our negotia
tions, which have happily resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship and
good understanding between His Britannic Majesty and Your Majesty, the ques
tion of the frontier between the Hejaz and Trans-Jordan was discussed, and I
explained to your Majesty the position, as defined in a draft protocol submitted
by me to you, which His Majesty’s Government have taken up on this question
and to which they must adhere.
His Majesty’s Government regard the above-mentioned frontier as being de
fined as follows :—
The frontier between the Hejaz and Trans-Jordan starts from the inter-
Bection of meridian 38°E. and parallel 29° 35' N. which marks the termination
of the frontier between Nejd and Trans-Jordan, and proceeds in a straight line
to point on the Hejaz Railway 2 miles south of Mudawwara. From this point it
proceeds in a straight line to a point on the Gulf of Aqaba 2 miles south of
the town of Aqaba.”
Respects.
Gilbert Clayton,
His Britannic Majesty's Commissioner and
Plenipotentiary.
Jeddah, May 19th, 1927 (18th Zul Qa’da, 1345).
