- Content
The letter is an acknowledgement of Kemball’s previous letter (folios 168-69) relating to the abandonment of a proposed levy against British subjects at Muscat. Anderson states that he will await further information from Kemball on the numbers and denominations of people at Muscat claiming to be British subjects, and that, in the meantime, Kemball should not take any steps that might be seen as sanctioning any such capitation tax against British or non-Muslim subjects.
