Bthali, 18th October. I have been for some time exchanging letters with
Upper Aulaki Chief regarding treaty. The Sheikh of Yeshbum will probably
come in, but the Sultan of Nisab, who is the more important, is very unwilling
to leave his country. He has, however, sent an accredited Agent to settle terms
of the treaty. Agent has accepted treaty identical with that given to Dthubi
and Muflahai Yaffai with of hundred dollars per month {sic). It is proposed
that Agent shall now take back treaty for Sultan’s seal. Act of sealing is to be
witnessed by Bury or other person in our behalf, who will return with Agent
for that purpose. When he comes back with treaty, duly sealed, I will sign.
It is undoubtedly of great importance to conclude treaty without further delay,
and I would, therefore, ask permission to carry it out as proposed, in the special
circumstances.
