friend the Government on the Travelling Permits ?;hich he
wants as he imagines to put it into eiieet, I do not expect
you to recognize and. endorse them. You are aware that sheiJdi
Isa bin Salih al Harithi and his followers do not travel
from Oman without a Passport from the muscat Government and
I do not think that you and the Resident are unaware about
these facts. How could these people' have any superiority
over others in enforcing travelling permits? Letter of
introduction can oe given to them like other Sheikhs who
travel to foreign places. I would like that a letter of
introduction may be granted if a Passport is issued by my
Government and if you are asked to do so as usual.
I will admit that X did not attach the cost of ammunition [
which was deposited with me and some time ago 1 ordered the
Council of ministers of my Government to pay it to them,
but they themselves did not demand it. It is ready end will
be paid by my Government to him as soon as they ask for it.
I request you to forward this my letter to his nonour
the Resident and I hope that I Ytrould be supported in
suppressing them and stopping their aggressions.

their transgressions at Sur*
(1) They have levied a tax on caravans and sailing craits
(2) They have erected ouildings at Aiqa, a village of
Gur, where they had no such Duilaings oeiore. They have done
so in order to oppose the execution of the orders of my
Government in that part.
hoisted it at Aiqa. They attempted to interfere with the
traffic and highways and to disturb the peace. All their
actions create disturbance and are against the orders of
my official at Sur.axx
I may add that I have got letters from them in which
they admit that they have no right to interfere in the
affairs of Gur. They are ready whenever you want to see them.
