To:
The Great Minister (of the Imam) the

A.C.,
We are pleased to receive your letter of 8th.
Ramadan 1335- 28th. July 1917 on the end of Shawal -
18th. August 1917. This was after our long waiting,
and the' anxiety sustained in expecting to pick the gems
depicted therein. We have duly noted the expressed and
implied phrases of your letter. You state that His
Majesty our King has entrusted us with the function of
giving you the full details of the case, so, with
reference to your request in respect to the explanation
we inform you that the intrinsic facts are quite apparent
and require neither explanation nor any references. We
have already remarked adequately in our previous letter
that the opportunity should not be allowed to pass in
delay in carrying out the object in view. There is no
doubt that considering your knowledge of our mind, you
’ could surely, realise the situation from our previous
representation. Verily common sense would lead to belief
that more time has been allowed to pass in bringing
, pressure to bear against allowing the remainder of the
violent, the corrupt, the vile and tyrant party, to
remain at your end ; . Undoubtedly you are aware of the
natural treacherous character of these people and of
their
