Is. S(ff)
W9 may coneidered like them and be given a loan of some money
which the donors may also account for as if it were out against
the divers; but where is that person now who will realize these
circumstances and sayings.
Almighty God is very powerful and very great; all power
lies in him. It is incumbent for those who are noble to ask us
W hat aid we want; but they do not ask what is our requirement;
because they know we are now in need of aid; but we can observe
patience till they themselves come forward and offer us something
in the way of loan and take a bond from us, and afterwards if
this is found insufficient, we will intercede for more. This
sort of help is of course incumbent on those who love to help.
In ahort, on the date of the letter a boat with some Tangsiris
arrived here from Mohammerah and it has been here since the last
five days. They say that there is fighting at Qurnah and
Girdalan , and at Ahwa z and inside Mohammerah and 6000 men of the
British were killed in the vicinity of Mohammerah and 4000 at
Qurnah, and that 2000 men were killed of the Muhammadans, and
that the whole of the British force with which they entered Basra
from the beginning upto now was 80,000 and that now there remain
but 15,000 and they are very badly beseiged and very shortly their
business will be settled. Insha Allah; this is what had to be
conveyed to you.
Kindly convey my best respects and salaams to your father
and those who may be dear to you, and to Abdul Aziz Zobairi and
to all friends and Moslems. Here Jawad and all ether friends
give youjBalaams.
About the mainland, the Ajman and the Araif have beseiged
