is c.cec by two brothers, Hilal bin Muhammad and 'Ubaid.These
people and the Sharqi were our subjects and some of them are
stil-i. onxious ^o rvert to us. The subjects of the letters
were to the exLect that the awasim had sold the country to
the iiritish. By saying they sold, he presumably mentis the
Concession given to the Oil Company, he used to word sold in
order to incite and instigate them so as to prevent motor cars
and agitate them. The sold aim being to cause insurrection,
instigate trouble and incite them. There had existed between
us and his forefathers and ancestors pledges, union, good and
firm ties of friendship. They undertook not to intenere in

friendly ties and an infringement of the good neighbourhood
relations and also a breach oi th underta: i'^gs giv^n by hio
ancestors. Sultan Sat id should have promoted and preserved
those rights and undertakings which were followed by his
