Dated about 2nd July 1915.
I trust that you ere not unwell.
It has been reported thet Faqih Muhemad has cone on
behalf of the British Government and landed at Dilwar end
come to you and that he lias much money with aim jO ive to
Faqih. In fact, if it is true I must in the first place
Ksattjsxi complain against Faqih Muhammad doing ax-.h a thing
end trying to turn you against the Muhammadan religion so
that you would become an apostate for ever; for they wanted
to give me much money, but I would not desert my brothers
in religion and turn my face against the religion oj. Islam,
end I would not consent to this historical disgrace. Ly
friends also should follow the same path, and not cause me
to be ashamed before the people of Tangistan and other
places. But 1 do not believe that you will agree with Faqih
Muhammad's ideas, and sit at home and watch us fighting.
I would never believe this; and you should not take such
action as may cause the people of Tangistan and Dashti to
criticise me. You should convince Faqih Muhamad so that
he may depart, and they may give up this idea.
My son Muhammad intended to come to you and acold
