Bir,
I have the honour to refer to your letter No.C.17 dated
13th April 1910 regarding the registration of the transfer of
the Fadaghia property.
2. The line you took in discussing the subject with the Sheikh
as explained in paragraph 5 of your letter appears to me to have
been correct.
3. As you are aware, I just missed Sheikh Mubarek in the Shatt-
el-Arab on 7th April, but I enquired from Sneikh Khazal if he
knew wnat had passed between Sheikh Mubarek and the Wall on the
subject of the Fadaghia registration difficulty,and he replied
that the Wali was still pressing Mubarek to register in his own
was
name as a Turkish subject, but that the latter^ firmly resolved
not to do so, but was considering the pros and cons of register
ing in the name of his blind son.
Please maintain vigilance in regard to this matter and
report any further information that may reach you.
I have the honour to be
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
Z 7 2
