TRANSTATION of a letter, dated the 6th Safar 1341 ( 27th
September 1922 jm Ibn Sa'ud to the Political Agent,Kuwait.
♦^fter compliments.
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated
the 22nd Muharram 1341 (14th September 1922)^, and to thank
you for helping me in the matter.
Kindly convey to H.E, the High Conmisaloner for ’Iraq
that I have already brought to hie notice on several occasions
the question of the JUUm thefts and acts of aggression which
continue to be perpetrated by certain sections of the Dhafir,
such as ohe Samid and the S&'Id - Hallaf and Abu Bhira' - etc.
and have asked for his assistance in the matter. I have urged
His Excellency to use his influence to stop this thieving and
aggression against my subjects, and to punish them in a
suitable manner, but I have seen no result to my requests,and
that has encouraged them to continue their III deeds and
repeated acts of aggression. It would take too long to Asraxife
describe each individual theft in detail. I request finally
that H.E. the High Commissioner may be so kind as to go into
the question, and deal with these wretched people in such a
way that they take notice and stop their crimes, and that he
recover from them all the live stock which they have plundered
from my subjects, so that I may return it to its owners, and
that the latter may not cherish thoughts of revenge or take
steps to recover It by their own efforts. For them to do so
would, of course, be contrary to my wishes, but, even so, it
will be difficult to prevent. I therefore beg that His Excel
lency will look into the matter and give It due consideration,
and I have firm confidence in him.
