un the 27tii ^ii/11/25; in tiie best of hours 1 received
your esteemed letter in the country of nabas when 1 v/as
returning from uazwah on my way to my country, iou have
remarked that you have been informed by the political Agent
muscat that the sneiichs of neni uu Ali have errected a flagstafi
at our and have hoisted ibn baud's flag. The fact is as was
reported to you and you have done well in representing the
matter to H.B.ti's Government, we are sure that the nigh
Government neither agree to the interference of a foreign
(Government) in the sultan's country nor in uman and that
they do not like disturbance but endeavour to put an end to
mischief and disturbance, ibn Saud is in treaty with the
uoverniLent and cannot tahe any action without their permission,
but w han the Amirs of heni hu Aii ventured to err'ect the
flagstaff by self-conceit the Oman nation was agitated on
account of their zeal for their country and represented the
matter to the political Agent and the council oficMinisters
at muscat as we knew that the government do not agree to such
a thing, tfe expect thata&Ute matters would be settled as
mentioned by you.
xou expressed a desire to have an interview with me again
as we have not met each other since the last 10 years. 1 will
write to you about it after my return to my country.
