Sir,
"Education of
S aivid Sae e d of Muscat ,
In continuation of the previous correspondence on the
subject of the education of Saiyid Saeed son of His Highness the
Sultan of Muscat, I have the honour to forward e translation of
a letter which I have just received from His Highness. In this
letter His Highness sets out his wishes in detail. After several
conversations with His Highness on the subject,I have formed the
opinion that he is so opposed to the suggestion of sending his
son to Beyrout School that itj^ would be better to drop it
and to endeavour to find a suitable school in Baghdad.
2, It will be seen that His Highness is prepared to keep Saiyid
Saeed at the Mayo College till the end of the school year and
wishes to send him thereafter to an Arab school for one year
only to complete his Arabic education.

Correspondence on the education of Saiyd Sa'id bin Taimur [Sa‘īd ibn Taymūr], son of the Sultan of Muscat, Taimur bin Faisal. Letters discuss his education at Mayo College, Ajmer in a school for the sons of Indian rulers. The Sultan, Taimur bin Faisal [Taymūr ibn Fayṣal] wished him to attend a school suitable for Arabs, partly to improve his Arabic. The American Missionary School in Beirut was considered by British officials but the Sultan felt this was not suitable. Letters discuss a school in Baghdad and necessary arrangements such as the rent of a house.
