I beg to state that Shaikh Abdul i ^iajid and Shaikh Muhammad
Said, sons of the late Shaikh Khaza'l, are said to have
proceeded to Kuwait, ostensibly for the purpose of ^seeing
what has been left behind by their late father". As I am
afraid lest they might cause trouble to Jeri al-Muhaisin,
who is in charge of the articles belonging to the deceased,
and to Shaikh Khaza'l's widow, who is in charge of the
household effects available at Shaikh Khaza'^s house at
Kuwait, I have thought it necessary to represent the fact
to you and to request, on behalf of the aforesaid heirs,
that you will be good enough to suggest to His Excellency
the Ruler of Kuwait not to permit them to interfere with
anything belonging to the estate of the deceased until
such time as all the heirs of the deceased can be legally
? represented by duly authorized attorney or attorneys.
I remain. Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
3d,Muhammad Ahmad,
General Attorney for Shaikh Chasib,
Maratib and six other heirs of the
late Shaikh Khaza'l*
