.raawlation of a letter, dated the 22nd ^oihamm 1340
Bepte^her 1921); from Ihn Sa^d to the Political Agent,
Kuwait.
After oomplinents.
I have received ycur letter, dated the (3rd) Muharran
1340 (6th Beptemher 1921), and have noted ita contents.
Aa reg&rdo H.ii. the High Ccmmisoioner* s meooage about
Uawish and the letters written by hin to persons in *Irad,
Pawish was present with no when the eorrinunlcation arrived,
and I questioned him regarding the matter end made the
necessary inquiries, Imt could find no truth in it at all.
In the first place His Excellency is aware that the customs
and habits of the people of #ajd, and more especially of
the Ikhwan, prevent them from writing to the people f •irac
or others like them, for their religion and the Religious
Law prohibit it, so much so that if they find that any one
of them has written official or business letters, other
than their chiefs with regard to either policy or commerce,
they will oxoom'OTiicate him and kill hin in their religious
seal, as is known to all both high and low. Secondly,Eawisfc
and people like him would not dare to meddle with politics
without their rulers, and such a thing simply has not been
and could not be; they are absolute forgeries *ind far from
true, but the policy of their autlior is bad (? H Lftkin SShib-
ha na ahsan as-siySssh). I told His Excellency once before
that I was afraid of cases of this sort Imppening in •Iraq,
and still greater than this, and thank God that the first
misunderstanding is from one of them..The Religious Lav/ anc
reason both prevent one from thinking that this was done bj
an iahabitant of hajd. Please toll Hin Excellency to rest
assured and know that nothing of any kind to didple^so him
will be done by me or OUt.' J c c ts«
