I shall get a long report in to you next week but
am lust writing a line to let you know the situation.
The Sultan seems considerably worried o 1 ' t things in general
which he says are in a bad way.
He says if the Imem te^es Rustaq it wil very much str»then him
and while he gains place after place his cwn the Sultan's
strength gets less and less. He places little faith in any of
those who pretend they want to help him and thinks they simply
want to continue the farce of making him pay them for doing
nothing. He saks me whether we would do anything after this
hot Y ;eather ; for ; as he says # what will be left him
Any action would involve a change of policy and I am sending yflt/
a long report with suggestions.
Secondly Mohammed Puad has had to go. After his last escapade
there was nothing else for it. T .e man is a danger when he is
drunk and I had tc point otft t the Sultan that keeping him
might lead to very serious consequences. This however leaves th
Niaam v/ith no one t lo k after it. The Sultan wanted to con
tinue his search for a native officer and I al ov/ed him to
write to the A,G G, in Balucr_istan^to see'there was a suit
able man. in Baluchistan. Of course no action will be taken witti
without ycur ap roval,
I am sending y u a rep rt an this also but the question, of the^"*
Nizam or its improvement is in\ Ived and will be an adiunct
f the main question
The writi&g of the main rep rt has necessitated a tremendous ^
amount cf reading and annotation, .in fact an am unt of work
out of all prop rtion to the result which will be visible but ft
which was necessary tc put up the question properly.
