.No. loOO, dated the 8th October 1905, I have the honour to report that I com
municated to Sheikh Esa bin Ali, at a friendly interview on the 1st instant, the
orders of Government in the terms set forth in paragraph 3 of letter
ISO. do^S-E.B., dated the 27th September 1905, from the Secretary to the
Government of India in the Foreign Department to your address.
After some conversation, in the course of which the Chief declared that
c had not understood that the second paragraph of-the Agreement of 1880
ad been annulled by the Treaty of 1892, Sheikh Esa finally promised that he
would strictly adhere to his obligations under the later Treaty, and that in
particular he would never again correspond directly with any of the neighbour
ing Turkish officials, but always through me.
3. At this interview my interpreter Mr. Inam-ul Hak was the only other
person present. At a subsequent interview on the same day with the Wazir Minister. of
anrein, I informed Sheikh Abdul Llahman of the Chief's promise and asked
aim always to bear it in mind.
