Your telegram of 28th Apiil liOO,
I consider it most advisable that Shaikg
should be informed in writing of this important matter
which affects him closely since if given merely orally he
will almost certainly ask for confirmation by letter as
he did for I1 is Majesty's Government 's previous intimation
see paragraph 2 of my telegram T/9B, Moreover as Ibn
Saud will have already been informed in writing is there
any harm in informing the Shaikh likewise ?
2, If you concur communication to Shaikh
which could be sent by Loch to him together ^ith that
mentioned in paragrah 4 of my telegram of oOtn April
Ho# 435 might take following forms
w 1 am directed by the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
to inform
you that ^-is Mejesty'-s Government have intimted
t o His
/Majesty 2 Ibn Saud that the eastern frontier of
Saudi Arabia is bounded by a Blue Line drawn due
south from ZAKHNUNIA. The area between the Blue
line and your frontier which you indicated to the
Political Kesident on his recent visit to ^atar
will be a British sphere of influence. If you
wish the matter explained further this can be done
when the Resident or I next visit you. tt
