2. The Sultan did not send me a covering letter to his
draft of the new Treaty. 1 asked nim for one and he promised
to send it, but as in many other instances of promised letters
from him it is still awaited.
3 # I do not think however in this instance that the
Sultan will attempt to repudiate his draft. His original
draft typed out on his own special crested paper with
numerous alterations made in his own handwriting is in my
possession and could perhaps be used against him should he
attempt to argUe that the final draft was not approved by him.
