His Majesty’s Treasury Sir Maurice de Bunsen’s letter
of the 29th ultimo (1.238025/16), further relative to
the proposed advance of ten thousand pounds to Sherif
Abdullah.
The Secretary of State for India has stated
that he is unable for political reasons, to recommend
his Council to sanction the acceptance of one half of
this advance as a charge on Indian revenues; and in
view of the urgent representations of the Secretary^of
State for Foreign Affairs My Lords are constrained m
the circumstances to accept the whole of the advance

I am, etc.,
