Commissioner for T Iffaq_.
We have the pleasure to express our gratitude to
Your Excellency for your good efforts in binding the friendly
relations between us and our brother His Majesty King Faisal
and also between our two G-overnments and two nations. We are
waiting for Your Excellency to fuilfil your promise to us in
the last meeting in settling the question of 'Iraq acknowledg
ing clearly the Kingdom of Hijaz Najd and Dependancies as also
in settling the question relating to Bin Mashhur and others
who entered 'Iraq from dtea among the rebels, in a satisfactor;
manner. In doing so you will strengthen the relations aad
remove every cause which may lead to misunderstanding between
the two neighbouring Kingdoms.
In this connection we thought it fit to bring to
Your Excellency's notice the matters awaiting settlement bet
ween Hijaz ^’ajd and Dependancies and 'Iraq which were discuss
ed during the last meeting.(1) The friendly neighbouring
Treaty, which was discussed and settled between the delegates
of the two Governments leaving nothing except entering into
in
it in a legal manner(2) The question of the forts/which we
agreed to the desire of the British and 'Iraq Governments as
was mentioned in the letter exchanged between us and our
dear brother.(3) The question of plunder of the two states,
which we authorised our dear brother Faisal to settle. He
should either suggest a solution acceptable to us or suggest
its transfer to the tribunal for which we are ready on condit-
ion that the meeting should not be fixed before the month of
Safar. If this is desired f we should be informed of it before
the end of Dhul Hijjah.(4) The question of Bin Mashhur.(5)
The Extradition Treaty. The proposals suggested by us in
this connection were handed over to-the 'Iraq degl Delegates
by our Delegates when they were in Kuwait, which were nearly.
