S ir,
I have the honour io state that the meeting
with Sheikh Isa and other Omani Sheikha took place on the
24th September 1920 at Sib#
As you are well aware the meeting was arranged
and XaXMX the date was fixxd when I was absent in Simla # I
returned to Muscat Jn the afternoon of the 22nd September
and had to leave in a sailing vessel early next morning for
Sib. As it was essentially necessary to give cash presents,
food etc to the Qmani Sheikhs ani their followers in
accordance with the previous instance a sum of IK* $ * 11
has been spent for the puipose as per attached statement#
I regret, pwing to the importance and urgency of
thtf matter and having had to leave within a fewfaours after
my return from Simla to Muscat, I was unable to apply for
the requisite sanction of the Government of India for
this expenditure beforehand. It will be seen from the above
facts that this omission was unavoidable and beyor^i iqy
