- Correspondence relating to the islands of Abu Musa, Tanb [Tumb] and Sir Abu Nu'air.

The Shaikh of Ras al Khayma is reminded that any disturbances on the islands constitutes a disturbance at sea. The file contains many letters in Arabic with their translations.

A second section (14/88) covers the topic of Tanb. It is not immediately apparent from the file where the divide between these two sections is.The foliation system is the sequence of numbers appearing in a circle in the top right hand corner of each page. It starts on the front cover and ends on the back cover.Some of the pages are well worn at the sides but mostly this does not obscure the correspondence.
