I have duly reoeive^our letter No. 612 dated 4th \ugust
1920 regarding the Shaikh of liaraimi and \ jman•
Firstly I an glad to hear that he now talks in a more
reasonable way about settling claims made against him by
British subjects and others on Oman: also that he has
apparently thought better of his last letter to me on the
subject. If he is still on the Coast when this reaches you
please teil hiri from me that the way to earn the Approval of
the High Government is not to write letters in that strain
when written to> but to act in a friendly manner, i.e. settle
cases of British subjects and others when asked to do so by
British representatives and to behave in a friendly manner
generally to the representatives and subjects of the High
Government.
is regards his prei/ftens ions to \jman, on what grounds
does he claim the place? being the heir of the Shaikh? J
thought he was a different tribe. J cannot trace that in
history, a Shaikh of Baraimi was ever Shaikh of K jman or
vice versa.
please explain this matter. \lso please let me know what
in your opinion would be the probable effect on the other
Shaikhs of the Coast supposing that the Shaikh of Baraimi
became Shaikh of \jman. Z?
