Sir,
With reference to letter Ho♦115-0. dated 13th June 1917
from the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
, Muscat, to xaj address, a copy of
which was forwarded to you dfiireot by that officer, I have
the honour to forward herewith for the information of the
Government of India, a translation of the letter which has
been sent to me by His Highness the Sultan of Muscat and
by
which is referred to/lfajor Haworth in the opening paragraph
of his letter abovementioned.
In this letter Major Haworth suggests that before meeting
Shaikh isa, it would be advantageous if he went to Simla and
discussed the question with you, so that some more or less
settled programme could be decided upon before the meeting
took place.
I was under the impression that Shaikh Isa was anxious
to have a meeting at once, and therefore telegraphed asking
for permission for Major Haworth to arrange one* If,however,
there is no hurry about the matter* I think that perhaps it
would be a good thing for Major Haworth to visit Simla and
explain his views on the whole question to the Government
of India and obtain their orders at first hand # If therefore
the Government of India have not already sanctioned the
proposed meeting in response to Sir P.Goss^s telegram Ho.
