which Mis Majesty 1 © Cicvcri ent would expect me to negotiate.
They also aak tlie same condition of Tour .’xcellency munely +
that should such a contingency arise a© the accession of a
©on of the Jherif, to the rulership of Iraq you shoul J be
prepared to enter into a treaty of neighbourly peace with him.
I informed His Majesty^ Government that 1 felt quite
confident you would be ready to fulfil your part in the above
connection when the matter were explained to you and you were
informed that if Iraq decided in favour of s> son of the
dherif, the policy of the British Government would be as
above described.
Tour friend wishes greatly that he could have had the
advantage of a meeting with you at this important juncture
but it hardly seems pcosille, as I cannot leave here just now.
Failing that I had hoped to send a trusted representative to
discuss these matters fully with you btit that again owing to *
the season and the uncertainty of your own movements does not
appear feasible. I have been obliged therefore to have
recourse to a letter in the first instance which will be
supplemented by full explanations by Ahmed Beg Thanayan.
I very much hope that the letter will find you in the best of
health and your affairs prospering.
(sd) I. Cox
High Commissioner.
