As regards what you hinted that we undoubtedly remembered the warning
issued to us by you through Khan Bahadur Abdul Latif that we should not bind
ourselves; this has been duly understood by us and, God willing, no opposition
will be seen on our part. You had also stated about the Greek merchant who had
travelled in the Gulf years ago (and pointed out) that he should not obtain from
us an entry in any of the mines (pearl beds) which belong to us. It is obvious
and certain that we have no object in matters which have not been regulated by
custom from the first and which have not been habitual to those who were before
us. As you know, the soul will not tolerate such (a matter) and you should have
no doubt (about this). Please note this and do not discontinue your good news
from us for ever and whatever you may require will be satisfied as soon as it is
intimated.
