Ali bin Ahmed in the matter of the Treaty you can write to your
Government. We desire the sane conditions which are recorded
with you and that you will give up Ali bin Ahmed. When you ask

the Id' is approaching and as we shall incur expenses for Sultans
and tribesmen, we request Government to give us some presents
which may be paid to our Agent Abdulla bin Qmer Al-Orajee.
Ray you be preserved.
