After compliments.
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your esteemed letter dated 10th
Dhil-Qaadah 1338 (27th July 1920) contents of which I have fully noted espe
cially regarding the question of the French and the Sharif and the nationalists.
God. be praised for this, but my only regret is that my friends the High British
Government have not occupied Syria.
As regards the Sharif Faisal I felt certain that he would commit such an
action, for two reasons the first being that he is drunk with success and the second
that he is ignorant and dishonest.
Undoubtedly what has happened is due to the good luck of the Allies, and
God has ruined his affairs before he could succeed in his plans or arrange that
any of our enemies join him, namely any of the hostile powers.
I hope, the Allied Powers will henceforward pay full attention towards the
Arab affairs which may afford ease to all.
I hope your honour will in-sha-Allah communicate to me all necessary news.
Regarding your party : Khan Sahib Saiyid Siddiq Hasan and Shaikh Farhan
and my cousin, Ahmad Al-Thaniyan, left as I informed your honour, and I told
them of all news that I received while they were here, and surely they must have
informed you in detail.
Usual ending.
