♦
Kindi asking that the negotiations might be reopened. «1 Kindi
tells me that the^^ are prepared to meet me and return the property
when they have finished their own confused affairs. I have seen a
letter from the Imam to this effect.
i have replied to him that I am willing to meet him when the
property is returned and arrange a settlement and have asked them
to arrange a date through A1 Kindi sometime after the Id, that is
after three weeks. Matter therefore very satisfactory and Oman,*
as 1 predicted,seems to be coming to its senses.
1 wbuld strongly urge that under these circumstances I may he
allowed to go- to Simla at once to settle the question of the Sulten
of Muscat. This will most certainly strengthen my hands in the
meeting, and I shall be ahle to return to Muscat in good time.
Until this is done McCullum cannot return. The Dragoman
