Letter dated the 21st November, 1914, from the Political Resident
in the Persian Gulf to the Shaikh of Mohammerah and its
Dependencies, Mohammerah.
After compliments.
With reference to the assurance conveyed to Your Excellency
in my letter No. 307 dated 15th October, 1910 (11th Shawwal 1328)
and having regard to the further valued services and co-operation,
which Your Excellency has rendered to the British Government and
to British interests in Arabistan and the Shatt-al-Arab, I am
now authorised to assure Your Excellency personally, and to do so
by this writing, that whatever change may take place in the form of
the Government of Persia, and whether it be Royalist or
Nationalist, His Majesty's Government will be prepared to afford
you the support necessary for obtaining a solution satisfactory both
to yourself and to us in the event of any encroachment by the
Persian Government on your jurisdiction and recognised rights or
on your property in Persia. In like manner they will safeguard you
to the best of their ability against any unprovoked attack by a
foreign power or against any encroachment by such power on your
jurisdiction and recognised rights or on your property in Persia.
These assurances are given for yourself and for your successors
from among your male descendants, and shall hold good so long as
you and they do not fail to observe your and their obligations
towards the Persian Government provided that the nomination of
your successors from among your male descendants shall be subject
to confidential consultation with, and the approval of His Majesty's
Government, and so long as you and they shall continue to be guided
by the advice of His Majesty's Government and to maintain an
attitude satisfactory to that Government.
Vis-a-vis the Persian Government, we shall do our best to
maintain Your Excellency in your present state of local autonomy.
Further, the date gardens which you now possess on the
Turkish side of the Shatt-al-Arab shall remain in full possession of
you and your heirs and immune from taxation.
(Signed) P. Z. COX,
Lieut.-Colonel,
British Resident in the Persian Gulf, and
H.M.'s Consul-General for Ears, etc.
