Muhnncarfih had written to eoae of the kuntafik ahatkh.s Inviting
them to a aoeting in Baorah for the purpose of swearing alle*
glance to Ibn oa'ud. Hie Excellency instructed me to explain to
the shaikh that he had no doubt the reports were simply the work
of mischief makers, but that he thought it would be as well for
hira to authorise him to give the lie to them. Shaikh Khas'&l
asked me to reply, thanking His Excellency for his confidence in
him, and saying that he hoped he would endeavour to trace the
author of the reports, which were entirely untrue, so as to
prevent that sort of thing happening again.
I had no Idea that Shaikh Khas'al had had anything to do

with the exception of Hie Excellency a original invitation to
Ibn Sa’ud to attend a conference hliaaelf, which X transmitted to
