Hafiz's expulsion from Bahrain and subsequent travels around the region are discussed, including his appointment as a member of the Nejd delegation to Bahrain by Bin Saud. A copy of Hafiz's Sultanate of Nejd Passport is contained on folio 93.
Other topics discussed include the activities in Bahrain of local trader and prominent figure, Yusuf Kanoo, the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
