galow was wrecked. We did not plunder it. We shall submit to your orders
regarding the specie and are ready to pay it, but the sea to our ports is closed,
and there is’ dread in the interior. When the season for trade opens we shall
send the same to our brother Ahmed bin Saleh. Should you then find that we
are entitled, according to rule, to any salvage such as the Fadthli and others get,
then we request it. We want your friendship. Perhaps Saleh bin Abdulla has
written to you with the intention of getting the Sultanate and the treaty. He
has no power to do so. There is customary practice betwen us, the Arabs. You
wrote to him to fight us. Your Government will give no countenance to such
an order and, further, that we are not at fault.
We also inform you that Jamadar Awadth bin Omar is desirous to exert
his influence upon some of our countries and ports, hence he is sending an
expedition. We are under your protection. We hold a letter from you and
have an assurance. We have formerly complained to you, and you have replied
that he cannot interfere with us. This letter is sent to you by a special mes
senger through our brother Ahmed. We request a reply in all its bearings,
which should be sent to us through our brother Ahmed. We request you to put
our brother in a suitable place other than the chowky.
