BRITISH LEGATION,
TEHRAN.
April 26th,1930
My dear Biscoe ,
Sheikh Khazal, who is still in Tehran,
informs me that he has some outstanding claims for money
lent to certain merchants in Kov/eit some years ago for
which he has "been pressing for payment for some time.
Being to all intents and purposes a captive in Tehran
he is unable to exercise himself the necessary pressure
to obtain payment of these outstanding accounts. He has
written to the Sheikh of Koweit, with whom he is on
terms of intimate friendship, several times, "but the
latter only replies that these merchants promise to pay
at some future time. He thinks that if the British
Political ^gent in Koweit were to mention the matter to
the Sheikh and ask him to take the steps necessary for
the payment of the money owing, such representations
would
