I have a sanguine hope that His Honour the Resident
and my friend the Government will pay attention to this
important matter which nfould result in instigating the
other subjects of my Government to rebellion# They will be
encouraged if the Government do not support and do not pay
due attention to this matter.
I have already pointed out in my previous letter that
other Sheikhs are looking forward to see how the British
Government is going to support my State in suppressing these
people* I expert to receive help and assistance as soon as
possible*
I have already shown you the letters which I received
1rom bur and stated that they intend to force the inhabitants
of Sur to submit to their wishes. You will observe that
such mischievous action on their })^rt will create disorder
in the affairs of my Government* We shall not give them any
chance to attain their objects and shall stop their high
handed actions at Sun 1 have already repeatedly warned you
of the transgressions of tnese people.
I am sending herewith a letter which I have received
from the sheikhs of Bani Bu Hasan of Ja'alan who are
partners oi Bani Bu Ali in Ja'alan so that you may be aware
how they are making propaganda among their neighbours and
what they intend to carry out in future at Bur**
I do not think that my friend the Government consider
Ja f alan a separate country from Oman. The history would
give evidence that it is under the authority of Muscat*
My Government and myself await a favourable answer from
the (British) Government*
Usual Binding*
