From—The Mukhbir-us-Sultaneh, Governor-General of Fars,
To— Haidar Khan of Hayat Daoud, Bandar Big (through Sultan Abu Tahb Khan).
I have sent a telegram to Ismail Khan, who will certainly communicate
the purport thereof to you. 1 will also tell you direct that to-Uay it is not M
and^ermissible that you should continue in this internal dissention. You
should put aside everything there may be. It is a cause tor regret that sue
a manias you should become known among the people as a seller ot your
country and be cursed by them to the end of eternity. I have also told aud
urged Borasjun, and there will he no trouble tor you. I he Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. , Com
mander of the Army (Darya Begi), is leaving for your quarter, and, God
willing, he will remove some of the differences.
It is the duty of men like you, who are a Muhammadan and Persian, m
safeguarding neutrality not to allow foreigners to encroach on your country.
Although the neutrality has already been violated by the measures of the
Britsk military and the Government has begun diplomatic negotiations with
regard to the occurrence at .bushire with a view to maintaining the former
rerations, yet, if they want to make aggressions in other places, your duty is to
check them and delend national and Islamic rights.
