2* I concur in paragraph 2 of your draft.
3. If the Ar-Kumaih concerned are, as I believe,
Bahrain subjects who have run away to Qatar, the
first part of paragraph 3 does not appear to be
logical and should I think be omitted. I concur in
the second part of paragraph 3. You can if you like
add that you regard the arrest of a messenger bearing
jLw * a letter to you from a visl tAr&fr Chief while on his
way to see you as an insult to the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. .
4, I concur in paragraph 4 except that I should
prefer "the action taken by your Highness in this
case M to'the divergence of your Highness 1 and my views
in this matter".
5# Paragraph 5 appears tc me a quibble and 1
suggest its omission.
6. I should be grateful if you would elaborate
in detail your assertion that the local position is
deteriorating.
