Shaikh of Kuwait to the Amir ‘Abdullah al- fut*ab ar-Rashid#
After oomplem'aita.
I have received your letter at the hands of your man ‘Abdullah
and his friends, and was much pleased to read what you say about
your love and friendship, for which I am very grateful, and I
thoroughly appreciate your true and sincere friendship#
You say that certain people have envied the friendship which
exists between us, and have tried to stir up ill will and spoil
our relations, and that the most violent of these is Ibn Sa^dj
that he made it one of the conditions of the terms of peace
which he offered you that you would break off relations with the
Sharif Kusain and with me# You say that when you understood his
purpose arid refused, he started attacking your subjects, and
that you have, accordingly, sent your men to let me know your
true friendship* I most sincerely thank you, and, by the grace
of God, the bounds of our true friendship will increase and
continue, and, please God, the wish of the envious will not be
gratified.% brother, if such be the conduct of Ibn Sa^ud, then
may God defend the right# I am well, thanks be to God, and I
pray God to give us both prosperity and peace, and that the end
%
of both of us may be good. By his gracious kindness God will
•
confound every foe# I am sending you my nan, and your nan,
Abdullah, will, no doubt, tell you about everything* I am
writing this friendly letter to confirm our friendship, and to
offer you my thanks#
