Ion I would invite reference to the marginally noted
a
Military Report on Koweit 1905, by Captain i Military
H.H.Dowding, I*B. India - page 90-95* I
Report, which
described very well the attitude of the ^heihh to the
possession of Jahroh and the importance of its retention
in connection with our Kadhomah concession*
13* The conclusion to which the considerations set
forth in the foregoing paragraphs bring mo, subject to
confirmation or modification, on receiving the rerort which
I await from Captain Shakespear, la that if it is still
possible as between ourselves and the Turks, to work in a
slightly different line to that described by Mr* Lorimer,
it will be both in the interest of the ^heikh and at the
same time more palatable to the Turks, if we can arrange
for recognition of the line subject to the slight modification
mentioned below,indicated by Capatin Shakespear, which while
conceding a broad strip of territory to Turkey effectively
safeguards tho Sheikh's rights and influence over his tribes
at strategic points, and at the same time has the substantial
advantage of affording a well defined frontier, a consideration
which tho Sheikh will, I have no doubt, appreciate*
13 * The modification which I recommend is that the
boundary on the Coast should be arbitrarily held to be at
Jabal Manifah and from thence to proceed south-west to include
Anta'a and thence along Captain Shakeapear's boundary via A1
