C.S.L, C.I.E.,
POLITICAL RESIDENT
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
IN THE PERSIAN GULP,
DATED THE 19th AUGUST 1911.
After compliments. I beg to enquire after your health. The news of
our part is good and the moyements are tranquil and nothing has transpired
except what is pleasant to the mind.
Your esteemed letter, dated the 23rd Rajah, has been received through Khan
Bahadur Abdul Latif, British Agent, and I was pleased for it as it gave us the
good news of your welfare. All what you had stated and hinted were under
stood by your friend.
As regards what you had hinted that we undoubtedly remembered the
warning issued to us by you through Khan Bahadur Abdul Latif that we should
not bind ourselves ; this has been duly understood by us aad, God willing, no
opposition will be seen on our part. You had also stated about the Greek
merchant who had travelled in the Gulf years ago (and pointed out) that he
should not obtain from us an entry in any of the mines (pearl beds) which
belong to us. It is obvious and certain that we have no object in matters
which have not been regulated by custom from the first and which have not
been habitual to those who were before us. As you know, the soul will not
tolerate such (a matter) and you should have no doubt (about this). Please
note tliis and do not discontinue your good news from us for ever and whatever
you may require will be satisfied as soon as it is intimated. May you ever
remain preserved.
