Ko particular oaeis of autiiority exleted, yo far as I
know, on trliloft iXassan was ontitiod to aot, and to the bast
of my belief - (ana i have on excellent ) - I have never
heard 01 or seen tne ao-oalled iaemorandvuE of Aaeooiation vrhich
you have now shown ma. Much loss did I ever sign it or re
ceive a copy of it.
nor was 1 consulted at all or informed regarding the sale
of a share in the concern by uhoiih tia^ar to iusuf bin Abdullah
or by lusuf to Hassan or Hassan to Hrown. it is all news to
me *
In any case naaaan Namelyeh never acted according to the
iiulea now shown to me. xio has never rendered any accounts
at all. In faot the mismanagement of the o.-moiyeha and the
extravagance of Abdullah nave always been a gre it cause of
complaint both to me and i«aalioda All.
