Reference ray telegram Ifo* 419-0 dated 15th inetant, T
beg to forward,herewith enclosed, translation of Bin Gaud’s
letter to me regarding Sharif Abdullah’s transfer to Medina
with Shakir bin /,aid, and the re-ported intention of Sharif
Abdullah to proceed to eoopotarnia via Hail#
I presume Shakir is the care as Amir 'hakir of Turrabah
fame* He is described as Farban A1 Hahnah as Hadhri of ^ecca
who adopts Bedouin style of dress and speech. He resembles
in appearance dadr Al Rashid of the Rashid Haraonla of the
Saadun, 3uq esh Sheiyukh, according to Parhan Her*
According to Bin Gaud’s statement to roe in Q 4 &ir last
month, Jie has an excellent spy system in Medina, and the re
ported intention of Abdullah to stir up trouble Qassin way
is probably true.
I my self consider it reasonable to suppose that the
Shaikh of '<oweit has reported the Jarah affair to King Husain
and had requested him to create a diversion arainst Bin Gaud
from West. There is little doubt,I think,that the Rulers of
s oweit,l!eJaz and Jebel Ghanrar are in olose communication
with each other.
