Annex. 41.
Extract from a letter from Hasan hin Ali Lwjcih,
Abdul R
(Dated 5thRamzan 1317—7t
(The first portion of this letter refers to certain private matters, such as Hasan's claim
against two persons of Abu Dhabi, the hire of boats, ecc.).
jfc S|i Hs *
And then you stated to me what you have learned, namely, that a letter has
been received by our Mend Naser (bin Loota) from Bahrain asking him to purchase
such oi the shares of the oxide company of the Bu Musa Island as he can; and
that Naser had consulted friend Yusuf with a view to purchase (his share) from
him and made suggestions to him that he, Yusuf, was a pearl-dealer and was
unable to take part in the business of the oxide company, etc., and so on. (You
add that) Yusuf agreed to sell, and that the deal had reached the figure of 400$,
and that Yusuf had stood to this as his final answer and Naser asked for a slight
reduction i .e., to $350. And when you learned this, you told Yusuf not to sell.
You have acted very well. We are the better entitled to take the share from
Yusuf, and it will then go over to the partners. My brother, it is not our inten
tion that foregmers should be included with us, God willing you will settle the
price of his share with Yusuf and let us know; and henceforward no one has autho
rity to sell a share or anything else without our permission. I have notified Mal
colm to that effect in the very document of partnership, so that it might be clear.
This is what I had (to be stated) and do not discontinue from us the news of
your health. Give our salaams to Isa and those with you ; and greeting.
Your friend
Hasan bin Ali Samajyeh.
