S I M L A.
I have the honour at length to submit the material col
lected for cur i-eylyto the German Rejoinder in the Abu Musa
Case, together with my observations on it.
2. When I telegraphed fr^ 7 " Henjam at the end of March that
I hafl collected the local material and that the writing of it up
would occupy some days, I did aot realise that it would prove to
be quite the intricate task which I nave found it to deal with
all the small points used 3r the German Communication. When at
Headquarters I am subject to incessant interruption and I have
only been able to complete the report by coming for a few days
to the Shatt-el-Arab and working in quiet on the "Lawrence".
The German Rejoinder was a formidable document if read by itself,
but when studied by the light of the papers already recorded a
great deal of the substance fell out of it and I have seen no
reason to alter the appraisement which I made of it in Enclosure
(1) to my Note of February 19th 1910 submitted to H.M's Foreign
Office.
So far as I can judge the fundamental points of our cane re
main unshaken, and the papers now submitted will, I hope, be
found to supply a not unsatisfactory reply, to accompany our
offer of compromise.
To save time, I have ventured to forward two copies of the
naners bv the same mail tc the Political Secretary India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. ,
