Content

The letter is informing the Bombay Government that Sa‘īd bin Sultān Āl Sa‘īd, the Imam of Muscat, is at war with the people of Hizim. It reports on a recent failed attempt by the Imam to take their fort, and the Resident's apprehensions that the Jawassmees [ Qawāsim One of the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates; also used to refer to a confederation of seafaring Arabs led by the Qāsimī tribe from Ras al Khaima. ] may get involved, which could affect the Imam's attitude towards the Beneboo Ali tribe [Banī Bū ‘Alī].
