Sir,
I have the honour to draw your attention to my letter
to you of the 8th November last. I have not as yet received
any reply to my said letter, nor even an acknowledgment of
the same, which I take is due to oversight. I shall feel
obliged by your now acknov/1 edging the receipt of my this letter.
r lhe object of again drawing your attention to my letter
of the 8th November last is that I have come to know that
certain British ibgineers have already reached. Muscat with the
object of proceeding into my territory, for object of which I
am not informed, but which 1 take it to be to explore oil
fields in my territory. In order that my state nay not come
into any unforeseen trouble by reason of any injury to these
Engineers by nEtny wild tribes of my State, I respectfully draw
the attention of the British Government to immediately take
steps to notify to these Engineers, that if they go into my
state, they will do so at their personal own risk and responsi
bility and that in the event of any mishap or injury occuring
to them they will not look to my state for the consequences
thereof.
If the British Government or Indian Government desires
to open communication regarding the Oil Fields or other mineral |
resources of my state, I shall be pleased to furnish you with
i
any information that may be required & jio that is within my |
power
