Trasnalation of a letter dated the 3th Janadl al
A./wal 13^9 (8th 'lay 1911) from Sheikh Isa bin Ali Al Khali
fa Chief of .Bahrain to Captain T),L.R.Loromer # Political
A^ent, Bahrain#
After Compliments,
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt
of Ma^or Knox's letter No:4b6 dated the 7th Rabi ath
^ ' ;T hani 1339 (8th April 1911) stating therein that Colonel
Cok Political Resident and Consul General in the Persian
'Mxlf aiid Major Knox are interested in the mat er of the
Certificates issued by my Customs olficials to people vfho
export floods from Bahrain to Qatif and Oqair. I should be
^lad to ^ive them information on the subject but doubt has
cropped up in ny mind in regard to this matter, ^hoiirr* I
had '?iven orders lor the Cert.il icates to be issued so that
the Customs officials of those places miqht also issue
cert..iiicates for ^oods exported to Bahrain and had no in
tention in doinq so except to regularize the Customs. Hit
as this procedure is open to misunderstanding I have aban
doned the expedient in order to avoid suspicion.
True Translation.
