Honour has expressed the opinion that the time has not yet come for giving effect
to Articles (7), (8) and (9) which relate to: —
(i) The admission of British subjects to Qatar for trade.
(ii) The admission of an agent on behalf of Government.

Therefore I, on behalf of the British Government, accept your opinion and
hereby inform you thai the British Government sees no present necessity for the
execution of these measures and will refrain from pressing for them until some
future time when the need for them shall be manifest, and that effect will not be
given to these articles without full consultation with you and the obtaining of your
consent.
And whereas you have represented to me that you and your dependants
possess a good many slaves from of old time, previous to this Treaty, and that it
would be difficult if the officials of government were to interfere between them and
their masters, accordingly T inform you that I recognise how you are placed in
regard to this question and that supposing that you accord your negroes fair
and just treatment there will not be interference on the part of Government
representatives in the matter.
