,
Bush ire, the 7th June 1939.
Ty dear Tetcalfe,
Could you please refer to your Personal letter of 28th
April referring to my Personal letter of the 4th of Larch
1938 (a copy of which I sent to Watts) on the subject of the
treatment of the followers in Muscat of His Highness the Aga
Khan, and saying that His Highness had again returned to the
charge asking that we should use our influence with the Sultan
so that he would look on the Aga Khanis with a friendly eye.
His Highness made no specific allegations and no particular
requests. You added that you had no idea what His Highness
was driving at.
2. I am afraid no more have I ! but I imagine that, as
explained in my letter of 4th March 1938, the Aga Khanis are
inclined to be somewhat truculent in their attitude towards
the Muscat authorities and expect us to procure for them a
privileged position in the State to which they are not
entitled. However, I am sending a copy of this letter to
Hickinbotham with the request that he will find out from the
Aga Khanis what, if any, definite complaints they have of their
local treatment, and in any case to help them as much as is
possible.
Yours sincerely,
3d/- T.C. FOYIS.
