his maintaining a post on Bubiyan Island commended itself

retaliative amenities of the Turks, alike in connection

his 1 friends (5) interference with his Fao property, and
murder of his employes; that he naturally hesitated to
^ive them cause for any further reprisals#

assured him I believed to be the case, that the British
Government were prepared to inform the Turkish Government
that they recognised his claim over Bubiyan and were ad
vising him to institute or supporting him in instituting
