■from Shaikh Abdallah
To' Captain Hickinbotahm, -^.A.
^ated 5th H a bi al ^bani 1356 (14th June 1937).
A. C.
l be * to state to you wiih regard to the question of
%shid bin %ha r anad and his followers, -on ai’e aware
that they -are ny subjects and under me formerly and newly
and they are from Q a tar tribes; there are clear proofs
in this connection. 1 have explained clearly about this
and waited all this time with a hope that their return may
be obtained in a satisfactory way, that they should submit
to me and return as they were, obey my orders and avoid
useless thffes which do not concern them in a peaceful way
for the sake of their safety and peace for all. But I do not
see but my toleration would increase their arrogance and
declaration of hostility against me. why they should show
hostility to me and spoil my subjects when they are my
subjects. N 0 w the case has reached to a stage where no
toleration c uld be expected, l am better aware of ny
subjects and of my country, if they submit to peace between
me and them then I wish the safety and if they refuse
to any ting to; but detest and corruption and continue making
disturbances as they do now 1 shall be compelled to make
them return to my submission and obedience by any means
by the strength of God. ^t the people of B a hrain always
send them helps in any away even arms which they collect
from every where inside and outside and send to I\ T a im.
And to any foreign subject they come across they give him
money and send him secretly. 1 have heard that they sent
certain subjects of ^ a hrain etc to M a im to instigat^y subjects
to raise against ae fighi^ with me. I therefore make
it clear to you that l would not be responsible for anything
which may occur to the subjects of Bahrain who went and joined
the -.aim in order to fight with my subjects in my country.
