5. V/e both hope that an opportunity will occur for the
Hon’ble the Polioical Resident’s to visit Hijaz, so that all
difficulties may be removed from hearts. He may be able to settle
all questions connected with the Gulf, especially those of Kuwait,
which grow more complicated as time passes.
6. I am very delighted because of the permission given by
H?M f the King to some tribes and people of Nejd to travel to Ku?iait
for "Mus&balah”, and because of the progress of the "Baladiyah” in
Kuwait, and the satisfaction that it is giving to the people.

the minds that have to be changed and not the dress. The Shaikh
■
may possibly on his own do so, but you must certainly advise him
to pay attention to education v/hich acts as shining light over
every country. Shaikh Ahmad is man of great heart, and can easily
be convinced. I love Kuwait and its people from the bottom of
my heart and wish it every success. ‘ Therefore, the best that I
should like to wish for her and to hear, is that you are advising
the Shaikh to progress and civilize Kuwait, which indeed will
make everyone remember you for all time.
Last month London v/as full of those who attended the j

left for home, the movement is transferred to India. I ask God |J
the Almighty to graciously confer upon this worl4a state of
quietness and taanqility. Abdur Rahman al-usaibi presents his
many salams to you and mentions you honourably. Usual ending.
