^fter Compliments,
With reference to your letter dated the 11th Rabi al
Thani 1356 (20th June 19S7), I accepted the suggestion made
by His Highness the Ruler of Bahrain on the subject of the
meeting of his relatives with mine. This meeting was actually
held, and I did all I could to settle this difference, but we
could not obtain a satisfactory result, I regrefe to inform
you further to my intimation to you in my letter"of 5th Rabi
al Thani 1356 (14th June 1937) that the meeting was dissolved
and the negotiations terminated without result. The
representatives of His Highness the Ruler of Bahrain left after
the negotiations had been terminated and everything ended.
As regards the Nairn who are iry subjects, I have already written
to you sufficiently about them. And now relying on the letters
C p,
dated 9th May 1937 and 30th Safar 1356 (12th May 1937) which
were exchanged between me and you on behalf of the Honourable
the Political Resident regarding the termination of the
undertaking of non-interference with the Nairn on the
termination/ of the negotiations, I therefore do not consider
icyself bound to any undertaking of the sort because that had
ended by the termination of the negotiations. As position
does not allow me to wait further I shall take steps to
rectify the corruption made by m disloyal subjects in any way
that I deem suitable. I am writing this letter for your
information and henceforward I shall not be held responsible
for the steps which I find necessary to take in the present
circumstances.
Usual Ending.
