Xou have heard or the eYil deed perpetrated "bj
J'aisal ad-Buwaish and the Ikhwan : how he attacked our
son Baij with his servants and the neighbouring tribes,
which were with him, and killed the .len and raised the pro
perty without justification. They made this attack on
them srhile they "believed theiuselves saxe, as none could
possioly have foreseen such a thing, and we were greatly
surprised at it.
We have always considered that the Al-Saud and
Al-Suoah were one house "by religion (dinan wa madhhahan)
family and honour.
We were much astonished at this occurrence and
cannot imagine who could have incited Faisal ad-Buwaish
and the Ikhwan to perpetrate this disgraceful act.
Had we not "been anxious to save the hlood of Mus
lims and protect innocent uslim lives we would have taken
effective action at the time.
We kept patient however and exercised forethought
as Buwaish and his followers arc your subjects *
In view of the brotherhood and the long union whidi
has "been "between us we are reporting the matter to you, as
we feel confident that it will displease you even more
than it did us if once you know the real fact of the case
and are not deceived by untrue tales, for men of high
position have attentive ears.
What we hope from Tour Excellency is that you will
order him to return the property and make restitution for
the men for the sake of the honour of the two houses and
families.
If he does not listen to your words and obey your
orders, we cannot ezous^na will have to say -Hasblna
