presence of his two uncles and Belgrave. Whole Khalifa family
including Shaikh Abdulla are united in support of Shaikh Salman.
There is no opposition from any quarter. Shaikh Salman gave
me unequivocal assurance of loyalty to British Government and
determination to respect existing treaties and engagements.

inform Shaikh Salman immediately that His Majesty's Government
and Government of India recognise him as Ruler of Bahrain.
