Owing to our long stay (in Aden) we were obliged to return to the holy city,
after performing—by the aid of God—our duties. We have duly noted the infor
mation and allusion made by you. We have given you sufficient information
that caused our protracted sojourn in expectation of your reply.
You have known the intrinsic fact for years, and you have been in accord
with it. Now oh Our Lord and trustee the matter is left for your disposal.
Naturally it is neither for us nor any one else to dictate or force you, but you
might do what you think fit. You must be aware of what you are saying now and
of what you said before.
May God help you and us and guide us to do good.
