Detailed news of the Ikhwan attack on jahrah has doubtless
reached him. I am unable for a moment to believe he was privy to it
particularly after the assurances Just given to me, but it does show
that the Ikhwan are out of hand, and it will inevitably create a
very bad impression on His Majesty's Oovernawnt.
It is urgently necessary that amicable relations should be
established at ones between him and Salim. To this end I invite him
to come to Basrah forthwith for the purpose of meeting him under
our auspices, and meanwhile send peremptory orders to Dawish and his
4 f
force at Subaihiyah to withdraw from Kuwait territory, lilnds.
On hearing from you what date he is likely to arrive at 'Uqair
I will make arrangements for 3 . ship to bring him on.
