In going into the question of our title to
Basidu ebout which we have recently sent you copies of
demi-official correspondence with the Foreign Office, we

to the Sultan of Muscat, does not appear in Aitchison, and

exact purport. But a text, of which I enclose a copy, which
seems prima facie reasonably reliable is given on pp.XCIV-

we notice that the date given by him for the Treaty (April
1856) conflicts with that given on page 460 of Lorimer.
(In this connection I also enclose a copy of a letter from
the Sultan of Muscat to the
