This is the very rare exchange of notes, printed in Arabic and English, between Hugh Stonehewer-Bird and Dr. Mohamed Fadhil Al Jamali regulating the status of diplomatic missions in both London and Baghdad after the Second World War. The Iraqi statesman Muhammad Fadhel al-Jamali tied his country closely to Britain and the US during the Cold War. After the overthrow of the monarchy he was imprisioned and wrote the influential and liberal Letters on Islam.
