^e have already sent you a letter ,but perhaps the messenger
did not catch youat Mascat*
Q\xr eons are sent to you herewith to obey your orders #
They { the Imam anfl others) are opposed to us and have sent
their messengers all over Oman and Shariqayah and Wadi Maawal,
The f&rat to arrive here was S alim bin Rashid al Khar us i and Ali
bin Saleh* The people of Wadi ^a&wal'Imct zYkT"are v;ith him*
When they arrived at SAMAIL they invited us to pay our respects to
the Imam but we refused. He wrote repeadedly to us to visit him
but as we know that will surely arrest us we did not go.
How Salim bin Kashid has written to Sheikh ISA bin SALEH and S
Sheikh HAMYAR and th Bani Hina ani. to all his followers to invite
them. They are expected to arrive at SAMAIL onlst Shaval ( 14th A
August '} •
And you know our condition. We have no weapons to fight with.
If you widh to protect your forte then you should hasten here your
self or send us arms and provisions (rice)
If our sons return here they will be persecuted by the Imam**
people as the Imam has publicly said that the blood of our sons
will be shed with impunity. He has said H Whoeber will visit the
sons of Faisal and will return here,his blood shall be shed with
impunity *. But we will protect our sons till our iast breath
and thus success will come to Your Highness*
Your Highness may detain them with you till you are ready to
come here ^ourself. But if you prefer to send them back then
please do not do so without 4# a quantity of arras aad as we greatly
fear that the enemy will overpower us •
Your Highness knows these matters better than we do.
