so that you should change your nationality
anc; become Persian subjects, so that the
English should not meddle with Bahrein and
claim that Bahrein belongs to India.
■ o you know why you have been turned out of
liohaamerah?
Ho. I did not do anything which deserved
banishment from the place where I lived.
I have received a report from hais-al-
iiazmiyah, Mohammerah, in which he tells me
that y u are a helper of the British
Government. The most important incident
occurred oil September 4th, when you were
sitting that evening in the coffee shop
which was full of men, and, on t .e British
Consul happening to pass that way riding,
got up from your seat and saluted him. This
is a thing which affects greatly^the
political situation of our Government, and
yet you say you d id not do mything of
consequence; this was the whole reason. If
you want to return back to 2 ohammerah,
submit an applictition and say: "I a
B hrefiiii and ui Bahrein belongs to crsia,
I shall be obliged if you will please grant
a passport for the journey to rohammerah". On
your doing this, I will issue you a passport'
and will give you letters to the Khuzistan
Government, and you will return back to the
place of your resid nee well respected."
