Delhi, the 8th December, 1916.
My dear fforde,
Many thanks for your letter of the 12th.
ultimo enclosing information about Mahmud Hasan & Co received
from Yvil c on at Jeddah. By this post a printed copy of
Vivian’s letter to Col. Yvilson has been «ent to you; however,
I enclose another copy a* 3 @ duplicate in case you went to sen&
it on to anybody ei Q e.
In your letter under reply you Q ay "as Mahmud Hasan i«
in Mecca shall we try to get him for you or would you rather
not?" He have carefully considered this point; Mahmud Hasan
is undoubtedly one of the mo^t venerable and generally rever
ed Maulvis in northern India with a very large number of
murids ; he i^, moreover, over 70 years of age. He has com
mitted himself very deeply to a csu Q e of treasonable hostil
ity to the British cause and it would be impo^ible not to
deal severely with him if he were to return to In ia• * ^
take action, however, against such a venerable old gentleman
standing as high a Q he does in the religious world, woulo
cause a great deal of feeling and for once I am o^ opinion
that it i a better that Mahmud Ha^an should not be sent back
to India. In every other case that I have had to deal with
concerning Indian ^editioni^ts or traitor* abroad I have al
ways advised that *uch persons are le** harmful in India than
outside but, a* I have said, I look upon trie ca*e of Maulana
Mahmud Ha*an a* quite exceptional.
Although we do not want Mahmud Hasan back in India we
feel that it may be prejudicial to uie Sheiill s c - u wO
leave him alone ir the Hedjaz. If the information we have
sent to you and to Wilson, a* well a* local information,
convinces the Sheriff that Mahmud Hasan and hi* co-conspira-
tor* in the Hedjaz ought to oe dealt witn, ibe qu,, tiw - v.^l^
arise: What steps to take against them? On this point I '.eg
