Description:

This printed memorandum, marked 'Secret', is a note by John Evelyn Suckburgh, Political Department of the India Office, dated 22 September 1918, concerning British relations with ‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Fayṣal Āl Sa‘ūd (Ibn Saud). In light of a large number of telegrams on this subject, Shuckburgh wishes to clarify the matter with a statement. The note deals with Ibn Saud's relations with King Husain [Ḥusayn bin ‘Alī al-Hāshimī], King of the Hijaz, and Ibn Rashīd, British representation with Ibn Saud, and the question of the supply of arms and munitions to Ibn Sa‘ūd, as well as some general observations. There is also an appendix (folio 91v) that includes details of communications made to Ibn Saud and his reply.2 foliosFoliation: The foliation for this description commences at folio 90. and terminates at folio 91, as it is part of a larger physical volume; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is also present in parallel between folios 11-158; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled, and can be found in the same position as the main sequence.
