His Majesty^ Government have received Your
Highness 9 intimation of your intention to despatch a force
against Akaba. Your Highness will recollect that this
town lies within the boundary within which you were informed
in October last that any unprovoked aggression on Your High-
-ness * part should be regarded as sun attack upon territory
for which His Majesty's Government are responsible. His
Majesty's Government cannot allow Akhwan forces to violate
the frontier laid down, and if an Akhwan force attempts to
enter Akaba His Majesty's Government will inevitably be
flompelled to take such steps as are necessary to prevent or
eject them.
His Majesty's Government fully realize that
Your Highness would have a legitimate cause of complaint were

About this item
- Content
The volume mostly consists of correspondence concerning the relations between Britain and Ibn Sa'ud, with a specific focus on the negotiation and signing of the Treaty of Jeddah. The majority of the correspondence is between the British Legation in Jeddah and the Foreign and Colonial Offices in London. Copies were often sent to the Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in Bushire, the Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, and the High Commissioners in Baghdad and Jerusalem.
The volume follows the evolution of the Treaty:
- Britain's initial reluctance, due to their official friendship with King Hussein, to engage with the issue prior to Ibn Sa'ud's conquest of the Hejaz;
- how this event then gave cause for the Bahra and Hadda agreements of November 1925;
- the negotiations between Ibn Sa'ud and Gilbert Clayton in early 1927 leading to the signing of the Treaty of Jeddah on 20 May that year and its ratification in August.
At the end of the volume (folios192-196) is Clayton's final report on his mission to the Hejaz and includes a copy of the Treaty.
