(After compliments.) Lin 1324 (June 11, 1906).
I had previously sent you a letter via Debai. I trust it has duly reached you.
As regards the agreement which we have made with Wonckhaus, the German,
for the sale of red oxide, I have to tell you that we settled with him that 2,000 tons
should be shipped every year, and that if we got out more than that he would be a
taker of it. I have settled the price with him at 155. per ton, and we have to bear
all the expenses and deliver the oxide on board the steamers. Praise be to God, this
is a godsend, and will make up for the past. The arrangement will continue for four
years, and I have taken from him an advance of 2,000
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
. He has made
conditions with us for the shipment of 200 or 150 tons per diem.
The work begins from the 1st June, 1006, and I have written to my son Abdullah
to settle his affairs (in India), at any rate, and to come and supervise the work.
I have sent labourers to the island, and we shall have in any ease to buy more
donkeys for transportation.
I hope that, once begun, the work will go on regularly.

Abdul Latif to H
[Inclosure 6 of German Case.]
(After compliments.) Sfiarg llaln 1324 14., 1906).
I have received your former and later favours and was glad to hear of vour
welfare.
As to your remarks on the subject of the red oxide in regard to which God
decreed that you sold it to the German Wonckhaus at 15s. per ton, and whereas it
was arranged that you should excavate 2,000 tons per annum, all the charges to be
defrayed by you, and he to receive the oxide nett. Very good; I hope it is
auspicious. It will be good fortune after trouble. In any case, our brother Abdullah
must reach there to supervise the work, because I think the operations cannot be
regulated without him. Piease, however, refrain from entering upon any arrange
ments whatever in, the nature of leases or deeds of contract from 'which there will
arise difficulties and quarrels which will Igad to complaints and claims, because this
will be difficult for our over-lords and they will not consent to it; and you are by
God's grace wise and will not commit any negligence or hesitation likely to entangle
you, because in these days everyone is making a trap with which to entangle people.
I hope you will not be neglectful in this regard.
At any rate 1 am glad to hear this news, if we are safe from this world's tricks
more than before.
