After Compliments:

I have been desired by His Highness Shaikh Sir
Hamad bin 'Isa al Khalifah, the Ruler of Bahrain, to
address you with regard to the present negotiations
which are taking place between your representatives

be overcome as soon as possible. He has informed me
that he believes that if there could be a meeting bet
ween his brother Shaikh 'Abdullah bin »Isa and Ijis
eldest son Shaikh Salman bin Hamad and two of your near
relatives such as your brother or your son, an agree-
menfc might be arrived at. He has requested me to put

Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
I am now doing so. His
Highness attaches great importance to the place of meet
ing and afeile naturally he realises that you would pro
bably not agree to your relatives coming to Bahrain, he
is not himself agreeable to sending his relatives to
Doha, and has, therefore, suggested that he should send
his representatives to your Coast and hopes that your
representatives would meet them there. The exact point
at which the meeting should take place has not been de
finitely suggested but possibly Khwair would be a con
venient place or if you prefer it, further south towards
Zubarah
18th-century town located 105 km from Doha.
