My dear Brother, „
IT is a cause of great pleasure for us to seize the opportunity oi the
dispatch of our loyal and trusted Prime Minister, Nuri Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. A1 Said, on a
mission to the court of our brother to convey to him our most sincere greetings
and good wishes, together with our deep thanks for the noble sentiments he has
expressed in his last telegram.
I beg my dear brother to know that whenever I recalled my meeting with his
dear self and the good understanding and friendship which, thanks to God, were
achieved at that meeting, I felt more and more confident that the bonds of
friendship which developed at the said meeting would prove most happily
effective in cementing the relations of amity and brotherhood between our two
kingdoms. It is now most gratifying to me to find that that friendship has
borne fruit in our common interest and that of the whole Arab nation, whom, we
trust, God will help us to serve and enhance the position thereof.
The object of the deputation of Nuri Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. A1 Said, who admires the high
character of our brother, and who longs for the honour of attending on his
magnificent person, is, firstly, to sign the Agreement of " Bon-Voisinage,' ,
strengthen all the various other relations and connexions normally of interest to
friendly sister countries, and submit our views on the question of the extradition
of criminals between our sister kingdom, which, but for the fact that it affects
our relations with other States, would have been settled a long time ago. Our
dear brother may feel assured that we shall spare no effort for the realisation of
our common aspirations in this connexion.
As regards other matters which affect the finding of strong bases calculated
to help us both to repulse external (? foreign) ambitions and strengthen the
position of our Arab nation and enhance its prestige among (other) nations, we
have confided to Nuri Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. A1 Said the contemplations of our mind on the
subject, and I beg my dear brother to be so good as to lend his special and careful
attention to his (Nuri Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. 's) representations.
Finally, I wish my dear brother perfect health and prosperity, and his
people every success and happiness.
