ior Llio mention in the sbove comiiuiiiontion
that every caravan should be accompanied by a special offi
cial to the first province, and that such official should
hold a list containing the number of camels of the caravan
and the names of the persons thereof; should there be among
them some person or persons whose names are not included in
the list, and who carry goods with them, we would naturally
consider them as smugglers, and that they should receive
deterrent punishments#

This will be a sufficient substitute for the company of
any special official and any bill beside the abovementionad
manifests.

parties of bedouins who could not conveniently call at the
aboveraentioned stations, for the purpose of taking their
provisions from Kuwait, it would not be of any good for
either side to prevont such poor bedouins from taking their
provisions.
7 . I should also like to draw your attention to the
fact that limiting the number of journeys for caravans and
notifying the Government of their departure would bo a
hindrance to th© circulation of business dealings, and would
affect the state of supply and demand in undue proportion
particularly to small traders who are th© great ra&jority.
I trust that you will sympathize with me in the idea of
