I have read your letter of the 12th instant (19th January, 1905) with pleasure,
and understood its contents.
During my interview with you we held a conversation alxnit the visit to Abu
Musa Island of Wonckhaus, the German, and you said you heard it was in connection
with the lease of that island, and you warned me not to let him approach me. Please
note that the fact is this as I informed you, that Wonckhaus visited the island merelv
to inspect the oxide, saying that if he approved (the oxide) he would perhaps com
municate with me with regard to the price, and would probably buy some. This was
his object. You should not think that I would fail to let you know if he communi
cated with me on the subject which you indicate. We could not allow this sort of
interference from any one, especially on the part of these persons. You may rest
assured-
On seeing the oxide he approved that from one of the mines and returned to
Lingah, and says that he will perhaps buy 300 tons if he obtains reasonable rates of
freight.
He left for Bushire some time ago, and has opened a branch there for the
transaction of business.

Your esteemed letter, dated Rabi ul Thani, reached me in due course, and i
understood what you said. In particular regarding the receipt by you of my letter
and your comprehension of its purport with reference to our transaction with the
German, Insh Allah it will turn out well. You told me to take care that he did not
get any bond from me (which would enable him) to enter the island. Set your mind
