his Excellency shaikh liamad bin f Isa al Khalifah
After due respects,
«Ve are your Bahrain subjects who are residing in
^asabah,Persia. Previous to this we wrote you petitions
and asked you to save us from the trouble and harm which the
Persians have been doing to us. They purposely try to create
all sorts of troubles for us and we anticipate to get more
harm, he are also afraid that they will take away our sons
for military service as they have registered most of them in
their absence. They also killed Saiyid Husain bin Gaiyid
Jum T ah because he refused to get himself registered as a
Persian. This is what has happened to him. he trust that you
will not agree that your subjects should be subjectec to
humiliation and aggression and injustice. Before this we
wrote to you and to the Adviser that we cannot enjoy rest
unless there be some one to defend us or that we be given
pass in our hand from the Consul in Uuham;.iarah, but nothing
was done for us. You are aware that we were imprisoned,
beaten, attacked in our houses and our nationality papers,
which you gave to us, v/ere taken away, while we did not
change our nationality, he find that the Persian subjects
are enjoying peace and rest in your country, he expect that
a person who considers you to be his father(over-lord) and
who is under the British protection will not be subjected
to injustice and that his rights will not be lost nor any
one will venture to do harm to him. h^ however, did not get
any assistance or given protection by you which fact we
attribute to our bad luck. If you cannot see your way to
protect us in Persia we request you to let us know and to
obtain permission for us to leave our properties and dwelling
places
