After Compliments
I hav® r®c«iv®d your letttr of th® 12th ultimo
and hav® understood what you intimat®d therein, especial
ly ahout the attack of Ad-Duwish, and atout Daij and his
m®n. Also your remarks ahout th® two hous®3 of As-Saud &
As-Suhah "being eY®r unit®d > as also that you hav® left
Ad-Duwish un~punished in ord«r to avoid the hlood shed
of Muslims and that you expect payment of compensation &
would not excuse or forgive me if I failed to exact the
penalty from th® wrong-doers.
All these good remarks of yours are appreciated
and 1 feel that I have an ohligation towards you towarte
you and you have every right to expect all this from me #
Thank God, there is not on® who can give me orders, and
I am strong enough to enforce my orders with or without
his (any hody f s) consent.
I, your "brother,would,however, like to explain
to Tour Excellency certain matters.
As to Ad-Duwaish's attack ; God knows that I did
not order him to attack, nor did I wish it, especially
the thing that happened. Of course, I knew of their
(the Mutair f s) gathering { in Qaraiyah), and their taking
defensive measures. When God ordained the incident in
question I was, however, not sorry for reasons I shall
now explain. X did, as a matter of fact, despatch messeng
ers to stop them, hut they had already taken action. As
regards my own feelings towards Koweit, its Ruler and
people, I call God to witness that from the time I left
Koweit till this moment, I have always meant well "by them.
This is known to God as well as to man. As to the rela
tions of As-Saud and As-3ubah f I can only repeat what
has
