About this item
- Content

Much of the correspondence concerns the arrest of a Bahraini trader named Haji Hamid and reports that the Persian government is forcing Bahrainis to give up their Bahraini nationality and adopt Persian nationality.
The correspondence discusses how the British should respond to Persia's actions and the broader implications of any such response. The detention of a Bahrain Government official in Persia (Jaafar Ben Abdullah Saleh) is also discussed as is correspondence regarding the exact number of Bahrainis then resident in Persia.
The file also contains documents relating to foreign representation (or lack thereof) in Bahrain, the undesirability of the USA establishing a consulate in the country and practicalities regarding a visit to Bahrain of Paul Knabenshue, the Minister Resident of the USA in Baghdad.
