Resident's letter out that we desire the Abdaii to be present.
He replied that the Abdaii has agreed to do aw r ay with all
innovations and that every thing should be the same as it was
once before. Both of us then gave him a written guarantee and
opened the road and tom-tomed that the country and the road
w r ere in peace under the auspices of the Resident at Aden, the
Fadth^li, the Rasasi, and the Abdaii and that whoever will act
otherwise, the Resident of Aden will rise against him. We
send you this for your information.
We have previously asked you to send us a seal in our
