Translation of a Viulhaq to letter lo.9y/2/35,
dated the 6th Noveiiber 19£5> frcra King Ibn umd to the Ruler
of Kuwait.
It 1 b well known to you, my Brother, that the
two countries are one and the same, am that there always
happen to be claims for camels lost both by your tribesmen
against ours, and by our t ibesman against yours. The o ner
of the camel lost usually comes from your side and says:
"This is my camel which I know very werl". hen we make
enquiry from the person in whose custody the camel is found,
the latter says that he has bought it from the Jhaamar,
Dhefir etc. Likewise some of them say they have bought the
camel in Kuwait; others in lassa ana so on. This makes
matters very difficult indeed. If you approve of it, the
best thing for us and our subjects will be to act as follows:
.uiy camel that is taicen from tribesmen of Kuwj it anc
is sold to our tribesmen or in our territory, (which in real
ity belongs to Kuwait persons) ana when the purchaser of
such camel cannot say or gi /e the name of the man from whom
he bou Rit the animal, then such camel shall be restored to
its owner, further the man with whom i t is recognized shall
be bound to search for the seller himself, similarly, should
a Nejd subject recognize his camel with a Kuwait subject,
arti the latter soy he does not kno tt the seller, the camel
shall be restored to the cwner, and it shall belea be up
to the Kuwaiti to firki out who the seller was. For, now,
thanks to God, there are no hostilities: there is an
understanuing between us anu the people oi Iraq, ^yjia,
Falestino and ;ransJordan, that all looted properties
should be restored. hould you consider this suitable, then
all depend on God*s decision and yours. Cur intention of the
above is to reform the condition of the subjects of both
