23rd Muharram 1364 (7-1-1946) from Ahmad bin Ibrahim, Foreign
Secretary to the Government of Muscat, to Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmad
Regent of Kalba.
I was informed that Shaikh Humaid bin Abdullah, will get
in touch with me after Dhul-Hajj *Id in order to investigate
the trouble between you and your neighbours the Shihuh and
arrive at an understanding in the matter. Time has gone and
he has not arrived. We, as usual, still watching the affairs
of those parts and taking quick steps to restore peace between
you and your neighbours, I sent Shaikh Talib bin Nasir to
smoothen matters. He found that the Sharqi has put an end to
the trouble by bringing about a truce lasting*for a few days
the period of which has expired. I have, therefore, written
to Shaikh Muhammad bin Hatted to come to you for the purpose
of removing the misunderstanding bringing about good neigh
bourly relations and restoring order in a way that no one will
be prejudiced by it. N 0 doubt h you are one of those who
like to do good, prevent bloodshed and extinguish the fire of
troubles as required by Islam. I hope you will agree tc this
and authorise it. May God make us successful and lead us to
the good. Hy salaams to your brother Shaikh Abdullah and
sons Shaikh Humaid and his brothers.
