Begins e
’’Neferriiig to Your Excellency 1 ^ letter to Bhereef
dated July 24th in which he is informed that Kis
Majesty T s Government will only give him £125,000
monthly for 4 months from July 1st. I have taken the
liberty ot detaining it (it was only translated to-day)
in order ^to su emit following remarks for consideration
of Your Excellency and His Majesty 1 s Government*
I most strongly urge that idiis allowance be
continued for 1 year at least in order to give Shereef
a fair start; he cannot obtain much regular revenue
tor some time and if he is sent letter he will be
oitterly disappointed and ! personally do not see how
he is to carry on without considerable financial
assistance,
I am convinced that in Sbereef we are backing
tae right horse and he will probably eventually be
recognised Bhereef of Islam with consequently great?y
enhanced authority*
A very great deal depends on how we treat
