A public or private audience held by a high-ranking British colonial representative (e.g. Viceroy, Governor-General, or member of the British royal family).
AT THE FAILIYAH PALACE, ON THE
15th OCTOBER 1910.
Youe Excellency,
It is over a year now since I have had the pleasure of visiting you ashore
owing firstly to absence in Europe and secondly to quarantine difficulties since
my return.
This has been a cause of regret to me, but I am very glad now to be able
to visit Your Excellency here in your palace at Failiyah, and the pleasure of
coming has bjen greatly enhanced by the auspicious nature of my present
errand.
I am commanded by His Majesty’s Government to announce to Your
Excellency that my August Sovereign, King George the Fifth, may his
Kingdom endure, has been pleased to confer on you the high honour of a
Knight Commandership of the Indian Empire, and I am on their behalf to
present you with the Insignia thereof.
This indication of good-will and esteem on the part of His Majesty’s
Government is conferred on Your Excellency as a mark of their appreciation
of your sustained efforts to preserve order and security for trade in the districts
under your control and thereby to assist the progress of civilisation and com
merce. Unfortunately, as we all know, many districts in Persia have now
for a long time been disturbed and trade routes interrupted. It is, therefore, all
the more a matter of congratulation to you that this region has not fallen into
a similar plight.
With this short preface, I will proceed to present Your Excellency with
the said decoration, and in doing so I need only add the hope that you may
long be preserved to render loyal and patriotic services to your own Government
and to continue, as in the past, to promote the cordial relations which have
long existed between the Shaikhs of Mohammerah and the British Governmen
from the time of Shaikh Haji Jabir Khan until now.
