^
seen irora the roclaaation,of p/hioti I enclose
printed copy,that we havo sxpreaily undertaken tdi '
inspect and preserve the holy places of pilgrLnage
both in the Hejaz and Msaopotamla*
As for yourself I hope that as the result of
what has happened your affairs mill prosper nore
than before,because your territory will become free
from that annoyance and interference on the part of
the Turks from which you have suffered hitherto.
As regards your friend oaiyid falib,! met his
esteemed father at Basrah and told him what was in
my mind regarding his son,and It was to this effect.
Opto the declaration of war he did not cease to make
claims to us which were not possible of acceptance,
and did not agree to the favourable terms offered to
him;yet the British CJovernment is forgiving,and
though iiaiyid Talib has been ill-advised and misled
yet neither the Government nor I,its representative,
have any ill-will against oaiyid i'alib. But what I
thOUgfttwas necessary in his case was thMt,for rea
sons which you will understand,it would be better
that he should not return to iasrah for a time until
the affairs and the inhabitants of the town had
settled down. A little later 1 shall be ^uite ready
to see him and talk over his affais jbith him,and if
then his attitude is satisfactory and he submits to
the wishes of the Qovamment,! may be able to re
commend his being allowed to return to Basrah on
suitable terms.
I hope by the time this reaches you our
friend Captain Jhakespear will be with you,and he
will inform me of hat passes between y u,and you
may be sure that they will be regarded by myself and
the British Government with all sympathy.
In the meanwhile,inshallah,we shall not fail
to show consideration to your friends and dependents
so*;'
such as Ibn andil in Jasrah and iubalr.
