I have received your esteemed letter and understood wimt yon stated.^ 1 nave
understood the copy of the Agreement concluded by you with the German for the »ile of
the Abu Musa red oxide. My son Esa does not agree to the execution of an Agreement
to this effect, and you had neither consulted with, nor referred to him, nor did you sena
him a copv of the Agreement before the settlement with the German of the affair
concerning the red oxide, so that views might be exchanged between you both, and
that you might adopt a recognized, obvious, and evident course, because it is obligatory
for the partners not to undertake a matter except after a general consensus of views,
so that no difficulties may occur, and you have undertaken this affair without any
consultation. , , ;
Therefore my son Esa does not agree to the Agreement concluded between jou
and the'German, because .he fears difficulty will result from foreigners concerning-
themselves in the matter. The nullification of this Agreement is better than its
acaptance^ad previously rece i ve a a letter (from me) saying that you should not
involve yourself into difficulties with the German in regard to the red oxide, because he
(Esa) fears an untoward result. I communicate to you what my son Esa says.

Your esteemed letter has reached me in due course, and i have notea its contents.
When your communication reached me saying that you had sold to the German before
mentioned oxide from Abu Musa, every year 2,000 tons of oxide at 15s. per ton, I
sent you back an answer, dated the 21st llabi II, 1324, which purported to convey
acquiescence, but in the course of the same letter I cautioned you against entering
into any agreement in the nature of a leasehold or into any relation likely to result m
dispute, orTthe grounds that the overlords of our affairs would not agree to it. I asked
you to "ive us immunity against the complications of the world (time). My letter in
question is no doubt with vou. Since writing it I have never received from you the
oiyy of tie deed of agreement existing between you and the German until the
5th Zilkaadeh, 1324, when it came in English after I had asked you for it time after J|
time I mentioned its arrival to you in my letter of the fthZilkaadgh. 132 k And when '
we got a" franslater and translated the English document, it became plain to us that
vouhad launched yourself into the very thing against which we had cautioned you
and had tied yourself up by giving a lease. Consequently, my son Esa does not agree to
