The representatives of His ^igtaess the iluler of
Bahrain submitted to me oertain proposals whioh it was
beyond my power to aooept in consideration of the defeots
that they contained as I am quite confident that ray rights
in this question are clear, and that the Nairn are my
sutgeots, and I enjoy the right to deal with them whenever
taey would diso"bey my orders or retiel against me, and that
I can nave no patienoe with them in the present situation.
But in order to maintain the old friendship and mutual
friendliness which exist between rae and His ^ighness the
p.uler of ^ahrain T made some amendments and forwarded my
own proposals.
