Translation of a letter ^o#K-4/229y dated the 25th v.haban
1354, corresponding to the 22nd November ^35-^from His
Excellency the Huler of Kuwait to Hi^ >Maje^ty King Ibn Jaucl, Jfi)
Riyadh*
After Corapliments,
I have been honoured w ith ^oU^.lXfiiter and Uulhnq which
I have read with pleasure and thanks for your kindness. Your
Majesty stated that it was your considered view in regard to the
camel losses (between the subjects of both states), that when
the owner recognized his property, the same should be taken
from him (the holder) and restored to him and that the holder
Y
should then go and se^oh for the seller (loan from whom he
bought), as hostilities no longer exist, end full arrangements
to restore all spoils lave been made between Your Majesty and
other (adjacent ) countries. Thi s your ^lajesty considered as
best for the comfort of all.
I, your bteehr brother, am pleased with anything
that Your Majesty proposes, because^ our two countries and
peoples are one and the same. ..nd by your safe existence they
will Insha ’^llah remain in peace and tranquility for all time.
As to the question of camel losses, I, your brother,
have been enforcing this Code (^rafa law) since fa long time:
So that when the owner comes with or without a letter, gives
evidence as to his nationality and proves his ownership, the
camels claimed are restored to him, without further references.
The holder is then told to go and search for the seller (man from
whom he bought).
In my letter dated 9th najab 1354 (7.10.35) forwarded
with your servant Ghazi al-Hafta, I informed Your Majesty
about the said servant’s camel, that when the latter recognized
it with al Jharika, and the latter proved his having purchased
it from Al Ha trash, who coulti not produce the seller, I took
the camel from him and restored it to your servant: Ha trash
is still searching for the seller.
The arrangement is, in very fact, a great relief for
all. May God preserve you.
Usual Ading.
