Content

Correspondence on the education of Saiyd Sa'id bin Taimur [Sa‘īd ibn Taymūr], son of the Sultan of Muscat, Taimur bin Faisal. Letters discuss his education at Mayo College, Ajmer in a school for the sons of Indian rulers. The Sultan, Taimur bin Faisal [Taymūr ibn Fayṣal] wished him to attend a school suitable for Arabs, partly to improve his Arabic. The American Missionary School in Beirut was considered by British officials but the Sultan felt this was not suitable. Letters discuss a school in Baghdad and necessary arrangements such as the rent of a house.
