Sir, Jedda, April 1, 1931.
I HAVE the honour to forward herewith the Jedda report for January and
February 1931. The report has been delayed by pressure of other work, but I
have thought it preferable to confine it to the first two months of the year in
accordance with new arrangement mentioned in the prefatory note.

Beirut, Damascus, Bagdad, Basra, NewJDelM. 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

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.
ANDREW RYAN.

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.
