BAHRAIN RECEIPT. . v / C ^
After ^ompl"' ments, ^®
It pleases me to refer to Your Excellency's esteemed
letters Nos. C/1227 and C/160 dated the 23rd December, 1947
and the 4th February, 194B, respectively, regarding the
delimitation of the sea—bed which Your Excellency referred
to as being shown on the map forwarded with Your Excellency's
letter of the 23rd December, 1947.
I hsve perused the contents of the map and wish to
confirm to Your Excellency that I am one of those who are
keen on accepting whatever H.M's Government propose or decide
as I never question the just and equitable way of her
investigations, her far-sightedness in (dealing) with matters
and the nobleness of her principles. However, I like to
invite Y'our Excellency's attention to the correspondence
exchanged some ten years ago on the subject of Huwar (Island)
and the clear representation I made regarding its position
in my letter submitted to His Excellency the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.

Bahrain, at the time, in which I expounded ray points of view
in regard to this Island which is a part of Qatar and in
which I expressed my protest against the behaviours of
Bahrain Government. Rut H.M's Government acted as they
wished, and I had nothing but to submit, reserving in the
meantime to myself my own rights.
The map you were kind enough to send me shows clearly
that Deebil shoal and Huwar Islands are within the territory
of Qatar. Huwar is directly attached to the coast of Qatar
with a piece of shallow water disconnecting^which recedes
at ebb tide, thus establishing access for pedestrians. If
this is its natural position and geographical aspect, how
can it be separated from its motherland Qatar and made the
domain of other than its ruler-^ Yet as I have mentioned to
Your Excellency I cannot but exercise patience, being content
with what Your Excellency said that this decision is liable
to alteration at any time In case more exact geographical
data are iorthcoming. This strengthens in me the hone '
