rf My ixax respected brother,ali pearl-dealers are in the most
"straitened circumstances owing to inability to sell".
I saw the debtor a few days ago and remonstrated with him
in the strongest possible manner,pointing out that the ineter
est for all these years amounted to the equivalent of the cla
and that it was unjust for him to delay payment any longer.He
replied that he will arrange to pay within two months,
A fourth claim is for Rs 8C,00C against one Fahad al-Fowzan
and I have demanded payment several times but he alleges his
pearls have remained a glut in the market,Sheikh Ahmed has
not ceen aole to do anything in the matter despite repeated
verbal and written promises.I interviewed the debtor when I
was last at Kuwait and he repeated the same tele of woe.
In any case something can surely be done to get a part
of Sheikh Sir Khazal Khan's claims paid if Sheikh Ahmed had
the will to take some action and I would suggest that some
reference may,if possible,be made to him by H.M,Legation to
'"expedite act ion". The situation cannot be worse + han it is
now and it will be interesting to see the effect of such a
reference from the Legation.
Yours etc
(signed) Mirza. Iv'ohammad.
