At Sharjah.
Your Excellency*
The ^*stor_y wi the relation betvveen the High British
Government and the Sheiihs of the Oman coast is too
we* .-novvn. to ^our Excellency to need a repetition and I
shai*, therefore* confxne myse-f only to that portion which
concerns me directly.
In tue year 1922 when the British Government
decided to establish an air route along the Arabian ^oast,
the Hon^le the Political Resiuent in the Persian Gull
approached some oi us notably the Sheil<hs of Dubai and
Ras-el-Bhaima - with a view to fixing up a suitaole site for
a rest house and lanumg ground, but, in spite of the offer
of large sums o* money and other inducements, none of them
accommodated the British Government. The relation
between the successive Sheilfos 01 Sharjah - of the
Juasom family - and the British Government has been very
coj dial from the very beginning ( nearly a hundred and
forty years now) and having been always desirous of
maintaining that friendhsip and if possible further cementing
it, I volunteered to give the site for the aerodrome ana
rest-house. All my subjects, even my own brothers, ana
the entire population of the Oman coast almost to a man
were against me and my very life was threatened but,
I disregarded everyone and all consequences ana thinking
only of the frienahsip with the high B-i-i-n
D-ivln the concession as
I entered into an agreement * o
