No., S9-C. •
Datd June 2nd received June 3rd, 1920.
On the 1st June Shaikh Salim sent a latter to Bin
Sa'ud about the, incident of ftkifch^he has sent me a
copy, v:hioh I send by post. Precis^ of letter begins.
You know Faisal Dowaish and Khwans offended my son•Daij >
and following, who trusted them, and killed and robbed them
As our two houses are so closely allied by religious and
family ties I was much surprised at this, and cannot
think who can have incited Faisal and Ibn Saughair to this
disgraceful act. If I had not been anxious to save
innocent Muslim lives, I ould have taken bast action
at once, but I have been patient as Faisal and his man
are your subjects. In view of brotherhood of old alliance
between us I report occurence to you and feel sure that
-it will displease you even more than me if you onc<3 adopt
the real fact^and are not deceived by false evidence.
My request is that you will order Faisal to give back
property, and make restitution for men. If he will not
obey you I cannot excuse you and must appeal to arms.
I send Abdulla (?)mait and, ,lziz Hasan to visit you
about it and they are authorised to answer you. End.
I now estimate number of killed by Ibn Sau"hair at
14-0. Little doubt that they killed wounded,no further
movement of Ibn Saughair. Unreliable rumours are numerous,
such,as proposed attack upon Koweit on the Id. Some people
doubt Pin Sa^d/s ability to restrain the Mutalr against
their will,and this seems the sole possible danger. Work on
wall which is not well sited has spoilt aerodrome. I shall
wire when new arrangement made.
