^esire to visit ^atar for recreation and hunting) to receive
them in the proper manner as necessitated by the duties of
friendship. Now that Your Excellency wish to know where Bin

Bin Othman to those parts of Qatar on which the aforesaid might
land, so that he could inform the officials of those parts to
receive them Well and generously and to arrange for their faci
lities, conformably with the requirements of friendship and the
popular custom between the friends. I, however, wish to invite
your attention that there is a group (number) of Na'im tribe,
whose landing at Qatar is not desirable; they always proved
to be the cause of trouble and disturbance which were
advisable to obviate. 17e will not allow such people coming
from Bahrain to land at Qatar, lest there should be what
might disturb the present situation. J should be
grateful if Your Excellency would percieve that and appreciate
the situation. We are confident that Your Excellency is one '
of those who realise the situation and appreciate the set-up.
