Annex 13.
In the name of God the Highest!
To the honoured, faithful friend, Mr. Alhadj Hassan-ibn-Ali Samaih, God keep him
well I
After compliments to you and the best greetings (I inform you as follows):
Your friend is, thank God ! well; may you also ever remain so ! 1 our honoured
letter has arrived and what you said has been understood, and that you have^no money
in hand at present. As soon as you get money you will pay 166 reals to Hussein Ah
Shah : you will, we hope, not be wanting in this regard. Also there came to us brother
Abdallah-ibn-Hassan and Hadj Ah, and they concluded the matter of the mica with
Sheikh Salim-ibn-Sultan for 400 reals. They drew on us for the money ; we paid it to
Sheikh Salim. We have placed your share in account, and have deducted from it the
share of [my] son Isa, so that your exact share is 337| reals. Further, we have placed
in account for you 80 reals as the equivalent of the 100
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
which we gave brother
Abdallah three years ago to buy us a gun with, and also 50 reals which we sent
to Alhadj Ali Ahmed SaTih at Abu Musa. We beg that you will note this. We hope
that you will do your best in the working of the red oxide mines on Abu Musa. Brother
Abdallah did well to reduce the numbers of the oxide workers, as the expenses were too
high. As regards the price of the oxide which you sent to London, we hope you have
obtained the money and devoted it to paying expenses. We hope that the ships sold
their red oxide well. Further, we have drawn up the
association, and have given it to brother Abdallah
sign it and then send us a copy : then all w in
Sheikh Salim of this instrument, the sheikh
would Ulce us to give him a copy of it. We told him we would give him a copy ourselves.
We hope you will send back the document by return of post, and that you will do your
best about the mica. And God bless you and preserve you from evil! Amen.
