do so in thtit Ajman /ras yours since former times and that it
was tceacherously taken from your ancestors after much blood
shed due to Saqar ben Khaled's assistance with Homaid ben Abdul

A1 Bu Shames and Naeem have had fightings with Ajman, but the
Bu Shames have not had anything at Ajman^since a long time,and
these senseless talks are of no avail to you. It is desirable
for you, now that you have time, to leave the house, and if you
like to get safe conduct from Shaikh Sasce^oen Maktum or Rashed
ften Ahmad, you can let me know and I will summon either of them
you desire. You should accept my advice because I desire your
safety. The people of Ajman do not want you to be their Shaikh,
and Shaikdom aa without the consent of the community cannot
last; If yoydo not accept iiiy advice you will perish in the
house. Firstly you will not get help,and food from all sides
will bs stopped. Secondly, as you know, there are in Ajman
British and Persian subjects and the British aovernment will
hold you responsible for all loss they may sustain,especially
if one of them is killed,then you will find yourself in a great
trouble. I hope you will not opposa my and agree xiik to my
a
opinion. Send me a reply.
