dated 30th June 1921.
ASIR «
Captain Fazluddin reports the arrival on
the 29th May last of messengers with letters and a
present of 2 horses from Bin saud and his Qadhi to
the Idrisi. The letters contained merely formal
enquiries after the Idrisi f s health and the affairs
of Asir and were doubtless intended to keep alive
mutual friendship. In one of the letters, the
Idrisi v/as addressed as the great Imam or Reformer.
Please refer to Hews Letters dated 13th
August 1920 and 10th June 1921 regarding Ebha
affairs. Captain Fazluddin informs me that serious
differences have arisen between Bin Saud f s repre
sentative and Hasan ibn Aidh, the Chief of Ebha.
It appears that the cousin of Hasab ion Aidh,
Mahomed Abdur Rahman, who was the chief cause of
the trouble last year, has allied himself with
Bin Saud’s party.
Hasan ibn Aidh has the support of the
whole of the Beni Mughald tribe which suffered the
most in the last year's fighting and has since
been waiting for an opportunity for vengeance.
