and H.B.M's Consul,Muscat to Sheikh^—^
Isa bin Salih al Harithl,
I received your letter dated the 12th Shawwal and
I understkiid what it contained namely that you ask from whom
has come the proclamation which you enclose#
It should be clear to you from the seal that this
proclamation is from the Government of H,H. the Sultan of
Muscat and Oman, and decrees punishment to be inflicted by
means of a penal zakat on certain tribes who have without
of H.H. the Sultan
justice robbed subjects of their private property and refused
to return it.
It is known to you that with the Government of
H.H. the Sultan, the great and glorious Government is on termg
of sincere friendship and is bound with him with many written
agreements. My Government will render all the support and
assistance necessary and possible to H.H's Government in
accordance with their agreements with that Government# The
substance of these agreements has more than once been written
and explained to you#
It is known to you also that for many years past
my Government has exercised their good offices on your behalf
and has more than once advised the Government of the Sultan
not to take severe measures against you. Finally at your
request my Government agreed to mediate betwwen the Government
of H.H# the Sultan and the Oman tribes, which mediation took
place at Sib in tne month of Haj last year. The Oman tribes
however who had expressed through you agreement refused to
ratify the terms. In this case therefore they proved themselves
insincere and unfit to be dealt with by a just and true
government. My Government therefore can no longer exercise
their good offices on behalf of the Oman tribes, nor will they
take any action to mitigate the evils which must befall them
from the Sultan's governient because of their misdeeds. On the
contrary they are supporting iiasH.H# the Sultan in accordance
