trouble in examining such evidence as you were able to tender in support of your
claim and has, as you are aware, travelled over the areas involved. He has
submitted to me a considered and lengthy report which I have studied with care
and as a result of which I am able to announce to you that the boundary between
your Shaikhdom and that of the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi, to the extent to which
it is up to now possible to define it, is as follows: —
From Hasian on the coast to Tawi Ghafur thence to Tawi Hafir thence
to Tawi A1 Eshush. Only the boundary between Hasian and Tawi A1 Eshush
is defined by this order. Tawi Ghafur and Tawi Hafir both lie on the Dubai
side of the line, as defined hereby.
3. The exact demarcation of the boundary at site will be completed as soon
as possible.

which I have referred and I await your written confirmation that you have done so.
