wav Or we solicit that the Government may permit us to seize the territory
S secure it. By the grace and aid of God and the High Government, I hope
?o subdue the territories and release the inhabitants from their miserableposition
and they will pray for the prosperity of the sublime Government. After this if
the Government should desire that I should hold charge of it, paying the reve
nues to the Government, or that they wish to take charge of it themselves, they
will be free to choose.
I beg you will represent me in every way in this matter, and I hope you
will not neglect this matter, and will send me an early reply.
Please write to me always, giving news of your welfare, and let me know
anvthing you wish to be done here, and kinly convey my salams to Ibrahim
^ 6 . . and his brothers. My sons also send Sa
nson of Abdullah Pasha. i ams to you. May you ever remain under
God's protection, and may peace and divine blessings rest on you.
Postscript of Jasim's letter to Abdullah Pasha Ibn Thaneyyan, dated 28th Ramadthan
1S05, corresponding to 9th June 1888.
I beo* to inform you (may you not know except what is good) that I have
written to you a letter and have given you details in it, which need not be re
peated here. I place my dependence on God and you, and I trust m God that
my hopes will not meet disappointment, and I have refrained from taking any
action about matters which come upon us one after the other, and I cannot give
my attention to them until I hear from vou. If I receive sufficient support and
iustice from the sublime Government, this is what is required, and we shall 30m
the Government and aid her in the undertaking; otherwise the Government
should grant us permission to secure the districts of Oman. If it is necessary to
write out memorials or send telegrams, or similar things, in connection with ex
penses to be met, you will kindly let me know your, opinion, and the reply may
be given according to the circumstances, and I shall act accordingly, because
you know better than us all the ways and rules, and what pleases you, and the
directions you give us, shall be final and obeyed. We shall be much obliged to
you, and God will reward you for gaining this result, and God willing, you will
gain greater honours and superiority over others of your kind. You will have
your reward in the world to come. As it is mentioned in the traditions of Moha-
med, (may God's grace and peace be on him), the believers are like a building in
which one part gives support and strength to the other, further the believers are
like unto a body, when one member of the .body suffers pain, then the whole
body becomes feverish and suffers from want of sleep. It is further laid down
that no one can be a true believer unless he should wish the same for his Moslim
brother as he would have done unto himself.
God knows that my belief is that what pains me pains you, and that a
strong friendship exists between us. I trust therefore in your worthy self
and great friendship, that you will kindly let me know of the arrival of my letter
to you, by a telegram, to the care of Jaji Ibrahim Bin Mandeel at Busrah, and
you will kindly give me some hint in it about the nature of the reply and
other details which I may expect to receive by your letter. You will kindly
send your letter under registered cover via Bahrain, and to the care of Mujbil Ez-
Zakair, and that you will give me full details in that letter, and salams.
