Tranalatloa of a lettar dated 20 th 5afar 1^59(a Snd
Novajiber 1920 ) from Shailrh <51r Abdul Aal* bln Abdur Rahrsan
Al Faisal As Jaud # Ruler of Nejd Hassa and Detjendenoies,
to Major H.R.P.Dlckaon, Political A^ent, Bahrein*
\ftor coraplinente
I have the honour to aohnowled^a raooint of ^;our
letter dated 9th 3afar (22nd October) together with ita
Mulhaq, the contents of which I fully noted.
Regard lug the question of Kovteit i As I have il-
ready informed your honour in my previous letter, after I
received news of the Jar&h occurence, I cent off letter
atonce. I gave ordero that all a^rrensive movements arainst
howeit should atonce cease, and sternly ordered Faisal Al
Dwiah to obey* I sent tho snecial messanrer on 18th 2 afar
(= 1 st November). It is probable the rfeaeanger reached
him within four or five days. I expect Faisal will have
by /
received ray orders/now and all his Bedouin have withdrawn
themselves from the neighbourhood of Koreit*
; Hth regard to your offer to visit Faisal's camp
i
and settle matters. Tou know the Bedouins well, I know,
and understand the real me&ninr of the fanaticism of the
AKItFiUf. You had better not go, however, firstly, because
of the hardships, difficulties and the trouble of the way*
secondly, because the natter is not of sufficient import
ance to be worth taking the trouble over.
8 . Regarding the settlement of this affair : I re
quest your honour to address the Hirrh Oormdasioner, Sir
Peroy Oox, and urge him to order the Ruler of Koweit
(a) Not, to involve himself in any way movement(harakah]
against my tribes;
(b) Not to allow him to equin troops or collect his
low class people (aubash) for attack against my peonle .
#
(o) And request that he,the High Commissioner, go
surety for the good behaviour of the Ruler of Koweit,
