four esteemed letter dated this month has been received and
your friend has understood it® contents especially your remarks
in regard to my contract with the Gernan to the effect that it is
not a question of the sale of the red oxide only as I had informed
you previously. %ur^Uitr, what is prevod to me is this that it
is really only (for) the sale of the red oxide but for a specified
period a certain quantity every year until the expiration of the
period. It Is not a lease of the island. Deeds of contracts and
conditions for sales are always (made) on these lines. He agreed
to take a certain quantity froai me every year and I agreed to ex
cavate the oxide from the nines and to deliver it to hia as long
as there exists red oxide in the same ouality as before, "very
person *hen he sells anything must necessarily take out s deed
of sale and this is not a leas® once for all. You know that I
will not be entrapped either by the Gersan or others but perhaps
you are being forced to dispute about this; for the rest the
Geraan has bought some red oxid® and nothing else froa the lease
holders of the oincs at Abu v .usa island; Hassan bin All & Co.
mJ " ^ JTvon were w© to convey the mxAmsoxide him to Ling'>h -
ifi ir Lx-voS the expenBBs thereof being paid by us - he would have no object-
tion neither would he ^av# any thing to say about the island or
be-ou Ce-sr:
the possession of it. Notwithstanding thie, when I received
S ' OA
letters from you on this subject (saying) that surely the con
tract oould be nullified, I communicated with hi® regarding the
nullification of the same. He replied *if you suggest any inter
ference in the island, I (the Genaan) will writ© a document for
you(to the effect) that I have no concern in the lease of the
island
