In r'ply to your letter Wo.1678, dated the 25th June
1910, I have the honour to inform you that Sheikh Jasem bin
huhammad bin Ali bin Ibrahim of Koweit origin, the biggest
Arab merchant in Bombay, wrote to Muqbil adh Thakair, of Wajd
origin, the most Important although not the richest merchant
in Bahrein, to raise subscription among his friends for the
Turkish fleet, because all the Arabs In Bombay had done so.

had been got up in Egypt, Jeddah, Beirout and elsewhere, but

this family "A1 bin Brahim ,, for many years, and It is almost

Kano and Kusaad bin Khalifa, who may be considered as the
next twc influential merchants, and both of them promised to
subscribe. Other merchants were then called to f uqbil's
house and subscriptions were given.
Muqbil
A few days later/and Yusuf Kano went to Muharraq to
patch up a quarrel between two other big merchants, Yusuf
Fakhru and Shahin bin Saqar. After settling the points in
dispute Muqbil again asked for subscriptions when these two
and other merchants of Muharraq also gave according to their
means.
Muqbil and Yusuf llano also went to Hadd to collect subs
