Shaikh Salim despatched a letter to Ibn Sa*ud on June 1st about
the Jariyah incident. He nas given me a copy and am posting it to
you. Precis of letter begins : You are aware that Faisal ad-Duwaisl
and the Ikliwan attacked, my son Da*ij & his followers when suspect- li
ing no tiling, and killed.& robbed them. I was greatly surprised at
this as our two houses are so closely allied by ties of religeon
and family, and cannot imagine who can have incited Faisal 4 the
Ikhwan to this disgraceful act. Had I not been anxious to save
innocent Muslim lives, I would have taken action at the time, but
I have been patient, as Faisal <& his followers are your subjects.
_lj.i view of our brotherhood & the long-standing alliance between
us, I report the matter to you, and I feel confident that it will
displease you even more than me, if once you realise the true
facts and are not deceived by falsehoods. My request is that you
will issue orders to Faisal to return the property and make resti-
uution ior the men. If he will not obey your order, I cannot hold
you excused and will have to appeal to arms. I send Abdullah as-
3uma.it and 'Abdul 'Aziz al-Hasan to visit you regarding this, and
they are authorised to answer you. Bnds. I now estimate the number
killed by the Ikhwan at 140. There is little doubt that they
killed the wounded. No further Ikhwan move reported. There are
numerous unreliable rumours, e.g. a proposed attack on Kuwait on
the 'Id. Some people are doubtful of Ibn Sa'ud's pdwer to restrain
the Mutair against their will, and this seems to be the sole
possible danger, Jork on wall, which is oadiy sited, continues,
hull has quite spoilt our aerodrome; will wire when new arrange
