of his previous relations with me : but it was due, firstly,
to the fact of my alliance with yourselves, aid secondly,
to my hatred of the Turks. I am anxious to further anything
that may assist to expel them. Go, if he answers in the af
firmative and assures me that he has no aim other than real
friendship, well and good. If he is seeking to impose on

of Ibn Rashid from that neighbourhood and his contact with
Ibn Twala and Ibn Swait,) to the effect that they should
settle in the territories of Ibn Subah,

of their contumacy was their support by Ibn Subah and their
stay at Kuwait, and this will certainly cause friction
between me and Ibn Subah, for my subjects are bound to
pursue the feud with the Ajman and so am I.
I have also sent my Representative, Abdul Aziz al
Rabai, with letters to Ibn Subah and have made the neces
