Mr. Bill, First Assistant, to H Hassan-ben-Ali Serney.
(After compliments.) 1325 18, 1907).
ON the 12th March, 1907, your letter to the Consul was received, regarding the
affair written to you by Sheikh Seger, Chief of Shargah, showing that he intends to
withdraw the leasehold for oxide mines which are in the Island of Abu Musa. The
Consul has requested me to reply that Sheikh Seger-bcn-Khalet has sent a letter to the
Consulate regarding this affair. The matter has been submitted to the Government of
India, and before receiving instructions from the Government, the Consul does not see
his way to interfere in this affair. This it was necessary to inform you.

I HAVE received your letter, and noted contents. Regarding the complaint
lodged with us by Isa-ben-Abdul Latif concerning the oxide in Abu Musa, you mention
that your contract with the Germans was made by his and his father's knowledge, as per
letter dated 21st Rebi-ul-Thani, 1324. In the same letter he also warns you against
entering engagements resembling a lease or binding yourself in such way as to occasion
a row; he further mentions that you should go a sure way, because his officials would
not agree to it. The existing contract between you and the Germans, and the condi
tions which you have bound yourself to, are altogether contrary to the letter of Isa's
father, which you mention. The reason that we are frightened of your work is that it is
not remote that the mines go out of our sphere. We entered into this with you knowing
that you are British subjects. We did not tell you to make contracts with strangers
from foreign Powers without informing us, and to bind yourself. You have no right to
make use of it and write on the head of the contract that you are the owners and
possessors of the lease held in Abu Musa. To this we never agree, and you are not
allowed to take oxide of iron from Abu Musa Island on the condition which you have
made, unless the business is put on a footing of which we need not fear the consequences.
This you should know.
(Signed) Sheikh SEGER-BEN-KHALET.
