stated in his opinion Great Britain rightly enjoyed for fair
dealing and mentioned Sir Percy Cox's letter dated the 21st
November, 1914, and went on to remind me that Shaikh Khazal
had died in Tehran probably from poisoning and that the family
property both in Irantsa* and in Iraq, was no longer under the
control of Shaikh Khazal's heirs. He then concluded by stating
that Sir Percy Cox's letter was issued under instructions
from the Government of India and he therefore appealed to them
on his own behalf and that of his family to aid them. I said
I would pass on his request to the Hon'ble the Political
Kesident in the
Persian Gulf

2 # On my return to Kuwait from Bahrain on the 10th of
March I was surprised to find Shaikh Chassib still here and
apparently awaiting my arrival. On the 11th of March His
Highness the Shaikh of Kuwait called to see me and in the
i
course of conversation mentioned that Shaikh Ohassib had asked
his permission to go to Riyadh to ask Ibn Saud to take up his
case with the British Government and that he, the Shaikh of
Kuwait, had replied that naturally he could not object to his
going to Eiyadh but that he must first obtain Ibn Saud's
permission. Shaikh Chassib applied through Abdulla al Nafisi,
the Saudi Government agent here, for permission to pay the
visit but after some delay Abdulla al Nafisi was instructed
to enquire for what purpose Shaikh Chassib wished to visit
Riyadh and he accordingly did so. It seems that Shaikh Chassib
then again consulted the Shaikh of Kuwait and stated that he
particularly wished to see Ibn Saud as he had a document signed
by the Shaikhs and leaders of Khuzistan calling on him to
assume his fathers title and return to Khuzistan as their
Shaikh and Ruler and he wished to enlist Ibn Saud's assistance
to induce His Majesty's Government to permit him to do so.
The Shaikh of Kuwait strongly advised him to give up all idea
of going to Riyadh in person and suggested that if he thought
that it would be of any use he could always make a written
appeal/
