With regard to Dhofar I am writing to the Sultan
who will make all arrangements#
Maesirah is perhaps the most difficult proposition
but the Amir of Jaalan has promised to see it through on his
return from India in two months time,meanwhile he has written
to Shaikh Mansur who controls that quarter*
He is confident that on explaining the matter to
Mansur and his savage tribesmen they will give the necessary
permission for landing and arrange conveyance and guards for
the party#
As regards the Batineh-Massendum trip,I am writing
to Isa bin Saleh asking him to afford the party every facility
should they desire to enter his country at any point#
The Council of Ministers are writing to all Walis
and Shaikhs of coastal tribes which acknowledge the Sultan's
suzerainty# J
I may find it necessary to write to the Shaikh of
Abu Dhabi,Sultan bin Zaid,whom the Shuhuh of Mussendum massif
acknowledge,but I think the Shaikh of Dibba,Saleh bin mahomed.
will be sufficient as he has great power over the Shuhuh(3hihi-
