The volume consists of letters (in English and Arabic), telegrams, memoranda, handwritten notes, a draft of a Najdi passport and a copy of an official Najdi passport. The majority of the correspondence is between the

The whole of the volume relates to the issuing of passports and visas to the subjects of Najd. The file opens with correspondence concerning the issuing of Najdi passports in Bahrain and British disapproval of it. The question of whether visas are required by Najdi subjects travelling to British possessions and protectorates then follows, with details on such procedures in Syria, Iraq, Trans-Jordan, and Palestine. Discussion of the idea of an official British endorsement required on all Najdi passports is also contained in the volume, with particular coverage of what terms to use when referring to the various British political offices in Arabic, which varies from country to country.
