fA
financial straits that I am in) which has lead me to pen
you this. Remember that my strength is your strength and
my weakness is your weakness.
I have no other alternative to offer: It must
be either "Iltizaa” (i.e.G-uarantoe of safety of caravans
going into Hejd) or'Tothing" 9 which latter would put me in a
critical position (financially). Neither you nor any Muslim
Arab would ever, I think, like such a situation to arise
(bankruptcy).
After saying what I have said, I hope, by the
Grace of God Almighty, that the door of happiness will be
opened and the wound in my heart healed. I swear by the
God of both Heaven and Earth, that I intended nothing by
my writing. It has neither sinister political meaning,
nor do I wish to teach you your business. My words are
those from a brother to his brother; from a father to his
son; from a friend to his friend; andfrom a sufferer to
his body.
I trust you do not mind what I have said above.
If the foregoing is not acceptable, your brother will not
take offence. It will be out of friendship and kindness,
if you accept what I propose; and will be due to 7/our noble
character, and for the advantage of all.
Salams to all the brothers and sons.
