At my interview with four Honour and our friend
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Arfa (Sheikh of Mohammorah) today, I told Your Honour of my
having learnt from Captain Shakespear of your being somewhat
disturbed by the condition in the Convention dealing with
the location of a Turkish representative at Kuwait. I in
formed Government of the anxiety which you felt on the sub
ject and today I have informed you verbally of the terns of
their response. I also explained to you my personal view
that the mere existence of the necessity of appointing a
Turkish Agent would be rather a useful indication of the ad
ministrative autonomy of your Government. As you requested
I now write to you the purport of the communication which I
was instructed to make to you, so that you may have it by
you.
In it Government intimate that in their opinion the
points which you have conceded in the course of this agree
ment - which was on a give and take basis - you must regard
as the price paid in exchange for the great advantages which
you derive from it. Among them the confirmation of your in
dependence on the basis of this Convention, and the formal
recognition of your extensive claims. Further, it is not
hidden from Your Honour that the Sublime Porte undertakes
not to interfere in the question of succession or In the in
ternal or external affairs of your administration* and you
are also aware that there will always be an Agent of the
British Government accredited to you at Kuwait; again, it is
established in your mind that you have the formal assurance
of the British Government to support you in your affairs, bo
