H.M.Government have sent in reply to Your Majesty’s letter dated
17th November through the British Agent, Jeddah but have directed
me to send Your Majesty a copy as it may reach Your Majesty
quicker by this route. Reply. H.M.Government isas follows. H.M.
Govt, have learnt of contents of YoM’s letter dated 17th November
to British Agent at Jeddah with regret.
They have^failed in undertaking which they have
C all means in their
repeatedly given to Your Majesty
l£~
power prevent improper use of Kuwait Iraq territories by Y.M»s
rebellious subjects. Efforts which latter have made to take
refuge in Kuwait territory have indeed already been frustrated mo
more than once and on 3rd September Y.MIs Govt, recognised since
rity and efficiency with which British authorities in Kuwait
have carried out their undertakings by formally thanking them
for their efforts.
As Y.M. is aware H.M's Govt, were approached as
recently as 1st November by Shaikh FAISL ed DAWISH with request
*
for guarantee for his women and children. They are credibly
informed overtures for peace which Faisal DAV/ISH is reported
recently to have addressed to Y.M. were principally due to un-
-compremising attitude which H.MIs Govt, have taken up in reply
to these requests.
H.M’s Govt, have moreover given material proof of
vainest desire to co —oueratf* wi+Vivn
