Letter of Ibn Saud to the King.
In a letter from Ibn Saud to the King, dated August 15,

Khahd, for he says: “As regards Khurma people, I think Your
Majesty should write a letter to Khalid and all the people o
the
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
stating that “ I and Ibn Saud are one against the
enemy,” and counselling them to keep quiet until the end of
the war, “when all differences will be settled amicably.
The Case for Ibn Saud.
Ibn Saud in Letter to Mr. Philby {August 15, 1918).
4 I have already told you of the matter of Khalid and his
country and the oppression of the Sherif against him.
Sherif has got no reason against him either religious or geo
graphical.”
Ibn Saud to Mr. Philby {August 10, 1918).
“ If he (Husein) is proved to have the least right over us
or our subjects or over Khurma (whether this right lie legal
by law or custom or by choice of the subjects) we are prepared
to recognize it and adhere to orders.
Ibn Saud in Letter to Jeddah {received June 13, 1919).
“ I have sent several letters to H.M. Government asking
them to act as judge in order to settle troubles between us.
The two towns of Tarabah and Khurma are counted as parts
of the countries of Nejd and of their dependencies morally and

“ l n a n agreement Great Britain promised to give all
necessary help to us against agression on our countries and
frontiers
“ The treaties and letters which are in our possession and
which are signed by him and our enemies are sufficient proot
of what I have stated. . , m u r
“ Not a bit of land was taken by us (referring to laraban
and Khurma) that was not in accordance with the agreement
made between us and H.M.G.’
Report of Mr. Philby after a Visit to Nejd {August 13, 1918).
“ I believe I am the only European who has ever seen
Khurma * I speak therefore with a full sense of my responsibility,
and my considered view is that the boundary of the He]az,
in the widest sense in which that term is capable of being used,
runs (in the tract under consideration) along the eastern edge
