Your C-14 arid demi-official letters of 22nd and 2Rth
July. The translation I left with Shaikh Mobarak was not
in any T/ay authoritative; it T ^as what I evolved with
Munshi
A term used in the Middle East, Persia and South Asia to refer to a secretary, assistant or amanuensis. Munshis were employed in the British administration in the Gulf.
on the way over to read to the Shaikh, and as in the read
ing of it there seeded to he no particularly in doubt, I
left It with hin, thinking that I had a copy, but I must
have torn up the original thinking that that which I sub
sequently gave the Shaikh v/as jpy office co^y»
ily translation also included an additional claure re
garding reciprocal expulsion of bad characters.
As soon as the instrument has been finally approved
and signed up a copy an4 official translation will be
sent to the Shaikh officially. Meanwhile nothing that we
can give him has full authority.
As a matter of f«ct I translated the sentence referred
to in your demi-official letter of 22nd July from an ling-
lish version which we nade at Sabzabad and which ran as
follows;
"in the event of the Shaikhdom becoming vacant the
"imperial Ottoman Government will by Imperial barman.
Obtain W .H.I .Shakespear,
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.
