Samuel Hennell refers to his despatch of 31 May 1850, letter no. 52, in which he enclosed a copy of his letter (no. 169, dated 26 April 1850) to Her Majesty's Minister at the Court of Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel Justin Sheil, concerning piracy committed against a Congoon [Kangān] vessel by the subjects of the Sheik of Nabend. Hennell encloses a copy of Sheil's response (not included), dated 11 June 1850, which sanctions the seizure of vessels if necessary.

Hennell encloses a translation of this letter, which is dated 17 September 1850.
