Summary

Mecca is the seat of the Sherif Hussein of Mecca in the McMahon–Hussein correspondence: every letter in the 1939 paper is addressed from or to the Sherif of Mecca, and the limits whose acceptance McMahon announces in No. 4 are the limits demanded by the Sherif of Mecca (Correspondence between Sir Henry McMahon and the Sherif Hussein of Mecca, July 1915–March 1916, PDF p.1-3, 8).

Details

  • The paper’s title and Contents style Hussein throughout as the Sherif of Mecca, and McMahon’s assurance (1) in No. 4 is framed by reference to the limits demanded by the Sherif of Mecca (PDF p.1-2, 8).
  • Nothing further about the city itself is stated in the correspondence.
