Neither the liritleh ooTerrmsent nor the Brttieh Political k%m
were for one moment Indifferent to the trouble or failed to

before we were able to arrive, ifajor Daly had succeeded in
quelling, with the assistance of Sheilrhs Hanad and Abdulla 9

ed on reconsideration that ¥»Jcr Daly is an indblent officer
or regards with cults indifference disorders in ^ils charge*
I personally hasten to assure Tour Highness that no one who
knows Wajor Paly can possible share your view*
I observe that one cosrplaint which Tour Sighness naltes
against ^ajor Daly is that he did not write and consult
Your Highness in regard to the troubles in Pshrain, as they
arose* I think, after the pems^l of this letter# Tour
Highness will perceive that it was iwpossibls for ths Poli
tical igsnt who, however trusted, is still only a subordi
nate agent, to write to Tour highness on ths grave euestions
of policy. Which the conduct of Abiulla al Qttff~ibi was
stirring up* t was reluctant to enter on the discussion of
such weighty matters without fall consultation with His
tfajesty , s Govornaent and It is only aft«r such sonsultation
that I have been able to write to Tour Highness* It would
have been highly improper for i»ajer Daly to have •one so,
as hs ai^it easily have incautiously cowoltted His Majesty's
Govemnent to a policy of which they could not arprove*
