Notes
The letter concerns the tensions between Bahrain and the Wahhabi tribes under Faisal bin Turki at Dammām. Kemball reports on his interview with Sheikh Mahomed ben Khalifa [Muhammad bin Khalifa], ruler of Bahrain, with particular reference to Sheikh Muhammad's intentions to blockade the port of Demaum [Dammām] in order to prevent an invasion by adherents to his kinsmen and Wahabee [Wahhabi] forces. The translated substance of a letter from the Bahrain Agent Hajee Jassem in enclosed with Kemball's letter (folio 21, bound in front of Kemball's covering letter), dated 12 May 1853. In his letter, Jassem reports on his meeting with Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdullah, who has rejected Sheikh Muhammad bin Khalifa's terms of peace, insisting that only his entitlement to half of Bahrain will induce him to break off his relations with Ameer Fysul [Faisal bin Turki]. | 5 folios | more | less
