I heve received your letters Nos.505 end 541 d^ted f:9th
June &nd 12th July 10^0 rerrfrding the yjn^n effeir, the Ifst
one wls only recently received, hut the others ctne sometime
ego ^nd I regret thtt through their having heen nisi £ id I
did -not reply to them sooner.
In view of the feet thet both Chtikhs esked you to
intervene, £nd there v/es elweys the prospect of danger to
British tnd Foreign subjects, I Approve of .your intervention
in the affair end in the wey you settled it. But I must sey
that I em not surprised tnet the Sheikhs rather objected
to seeing Abdur Rahman end his men silting at the i.gency end
getting off scot free after their performence end I do not
in fact uMerstend why you took them to the /gency injfeteed
of sending them ewey somewhere. In the circumstences to
prevent chance of trouble I think it it is better to ^gree
to the ^heikh of Shergah f s prohibition of /bdur Rehmen living
at Hir eh; presumably he cen pay off his debts to British
subjects all right by errenging for diving from Res-ol-
Khaimah. I e^i inclined to think it would heve been wiser for
them to take their femilies elso, but thet is their look out.
