From Sir P. Cox, 2lst November 1916.
(Addressed to Foreign, repented to Secretary of Slate foi India,
Cairo, and Basra.)
[R.] T. 56. I am at Koweit with Bin Sand and Sheikhs ol Koweit and
After discussion with Bin Sand at Ojair I reported that any effective
co-operation on his part in direction of Hedjaz was impracticable. 11, how
ever we and Shereef consider it would be helpful, Bin Sand is prepared to
send one of his sons or near relation accompanied by about oO followers to
loin manoeuvres as a token of his identification with Shereef s cause. nn
Sand would, however, like a friendly request to this effect to come from
Reason for this latter condition is that though ready to sink his personal
differences in common cause Bin Sand is extremely bitter against the Shereet
personally, and not without just reason. It will be remembered that on t y
18 month's ago when Bin Sand was engaged in suppressing the rebellious
Aim an tribesmen, Sheikh Abdallah took advantage of Ins preoccupation to
make incursion into Qasim and raise difficulties for Bin hand there. Again,
quite recently, when Bin Sand wrote to Shereet expressing readiness to
co-operate, lint asking for assurances of immunity from interference in
future, Shereef replied by returning his letter and enclosure with most
discourteous and arrogant covering note, which Bin Sand has passed on to
me in original. He feels very strongly about this. It could only be
obliterated by blood. His own letter was rather long winded but contained
nothing discourteous.
