Translation of letter No.782/1366 dated the & 15th May,
1947, from H.H. the Ruler of Bahrain to the Political
Agent, Bahrain,
p> !
Your esteemed letter No.561 dated the 11th May,
1947 (21st Jamadah Ath-Thani, 1366) has been received,
and I reply to the reference made by you to my letter
of the 2nd Jamadah Ath-Thani, 1366 (22nd April, 1947)
and to the contents of your letter regarding Jasim bin
Muhammad (as follows):-
First; I inform you that Jasim bin Muhammad is a
Bahrain national and I have the absolute right to arrest
him; he is my subject and the Shaikh of Qatar knows about
it. Secondly: The order for his detention was passed
before his arrival at Bahrain; for he had shortly before
left Bahrain, vide my letter No.35/1366 d&ted the 10th
• P ^
Muharram, 1366 (2nd December, 1946) concerning him and
his fellow people. After he had traversed the country,
from Hid to Umm-al-Hasah and Manamah, causing disturbance
among the tribes, we wished to return him to where his
fellow people were living, i.e., to one of the sea-ports
of
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
, as was indicated in my previous letter. You
say that you try in vain to help us in connection with the
Bu-Rumaih. You promised in your letter No.c/224 dated the
18th February, 1947 (27th Rabi Awwal, 1366), which you may
refer to and also refer to your letter No.c/410 dated 30th
March, 1947 (29th Jamadha Awwal, 1366) which was in reply to
my letter No.522 dated the 4th Jamadah Awwal, 1366. I trust
in H^B.M^s Government and their officials to help me in my
just right, as they were in the past and that in future they
will be as they were before, Inshallah.
