Notlar
The letter relates to the death of the Shaikh of Bahrain, and the intentions of the Imam of Muscat [Sa‘id bin Sulṭān al-Sa‘id] to help the late Shaikh's sons take power, and his plans to seize the Bahrain islands for himself. Newnham's letter is a covering letter, enclosing copies, in English (folios 5-6) and Arabic (folio 7), of a letter from the Governor of India to His Highness the Imam of Muscat, dated 20 February 1825. The enclosed letter states that the British Government is bound by a treaty with the Sheikhs of Bahrain to protect the islands, and that Britain will go to war with the Imam of Muscat if necessary, which will result in a loss of order to the Gulf region and a renewal of piracy.
