Mr. Hope Gill to Sir John Simon.—(Received May 9.)
(No. 187.)
Sir, Jedda, April 27, 1932.
I HAVE the honour to transmit herewith the Jedda report for March, as
well as for January and February. I apologise for its bulk, and for the failure
to render the report bi-monthly as usual, which has been due to the pressure of
current work last month.
2. I am sending copies to Cairo, Jerusalem, Beirut, Damascus, Bagdad,
Basra, Bushire, Koweit, Simla, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Aden. Addis Ababa,
Lagos, Khartum, Port Sudan, the Senior Naval Officer in Red Sea Sloops, and the
Royal Air Force Officer Commanding in Palestine and
Transjordan
Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan
.
I have, &c.
C. G. HOPE GILL.

About this item
- Content
This file consists almost entirely of copies (forwarded by the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the Under-Secretary of State for India) of printed reports sent either by the His Majesty's Minister at Jedda (Sir Andrew Ryan, succeeded by Sir Reader William Bullard), or, in the Minister's absence, by His Majesty's Chargé d’Affaires (Cecil Gervase Hope Gill, succeeded by Albert Spencer Calvert), to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Most of the reports cover a two-month period and are prefaced by a table of contents. The reports discuss a number of matters relating to the Kingdom of the Hejaz and Nejd (later Saudi Arabia), including internal affairs, frontier questions, foreign relations, the Hajj, and slavery.
The file includes a divider, which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
