' i have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter no. 3^7 k. dated the 19th September
1919, regarding Upper Yaf« affairs, and to state that
no British officer was present v/hen the agreement was
oeing made, nor was this Hesidency consulted as to
the terms of the agreements. After the Gultana had
signed the agreement, they deputed envoys to Aden to
.report to rae the fact of their having arrived at a
settlement but as the latter were not able to state
definitely the terms of the agreement the oultans
were asked to forward the -greement^ which they did.
there is no reason to doubt its genuineness,
k. he recommendations in Colonel Lees* letter
Bo. A /4364 dated 3rd Geptember 1919, were based on
the supposition that Golonel Wood had promised Gultan
Oaer bhi Kahtan the payment of j?.4000/- as a oasis
of agreement. As it now transpires that Golonel Woo
made no such promise (vide copy of his letter dated
Both October 1919, attached) the whole situation is
altered, 1 therefore agree that it would be suffi-
c lent to transfer tne stipend from the "cie Jure*’
Gultan to the ‘Vie facto 1 * Gultati on tue understanding
that the latter agrees to the return of Aultan umer
bin kahtan to the family 'T^ar," .« are no longer
/concerned
