letter dated ^14 Kay fror* Ibn Baud to you* Beglna:*-
I hear witli ^reat regret tiiat Bhaidan has raided sorae
^utair and. 1 A Jinan in Kuwait territory, which Is the friend
of both His KaJe3ty , s Qover^ent and myself. This was with
out isy psrsiiaaion and in spite of Liy orders to all sha.lklxst
to keep the peace. The raiders however wanted revenue for
the raid at 3hadhaf, about nhleh I wrote to you in my
letter No. 82 of 2nd May, and say that they only took this
action when they saw men who had participated in that raid
aaoogst the people whom they raided. Obviously things will
^et worse unless I punish the guilty tribes, but I am pre
vented from doing, so by the fear that they will flee to
‘Iraq and be given refuge there,$s happened last year. If
H*M.Goveruuent will assist me in expelling the guilty tribes
from * Iraq and will promise on behalf of the governments
under their mandate and protection that those governments
will not give asylum and protection to guilty tribesmen, I
will undertake to iumedlately punish all tribes guilty of
aggression against subjects of neighbouring governments. I
desire nothing but peace, so trust H.M.Government will help
me. If not they must hold me excused fur any raids tliat

Riyadh, nor did they meet the men on the ws^y^
Altlxough it aeeais lapoaaible to agree to I bn Sa > ud l s
request as a whole, I venture to suggest the possibility of
obtaining for him a guarantee that Dhaldam and hie followers
will not be given asylum within a given period unless he
previously make restitution for the recent raid* This would
at least prove the Lultan*a bona fides.
