- Content
The letter concerns the agreement (see ff 54v-57) established between Sooltan been Suggar [Sulṭān bin Saqr] and Sa‘īd bin Sultān Āl Sa‘īd, the Imam of Muscat. It reports that the Resident has received a letter from Shaikh Tannoon [Ṭaḥnūn bin Shakhbūṭ Āl Nahyān] indicating that Sooltan been Suggar has not yet taken any steps to uphold his part of the agreement. It is notes that the Resident has therefore written a strong remonstration to Sooltan, which he intends to have delivered via a cruizer.
