IDear Colonel,
With reference to the attached^ which is a translation
of correspondence received from His Highness.

instant. Apparently Dr. Storm* one of the American Mis

some three
weeks ago. He sought no permission from His Highness to
proceed there and the first intimation of his escapade was
received from the Wall of Dhofar.
The Sultan* very naturally* was exceedingly indignant
both at the discourtesy shown him and the crass folly of
any white man going down to a place like Dhofar without
adequate means of protection &o.
On the 10th December he sent for Dykstra* to whom
he intended speaking his mind in no mixed manner. I have
not heard the result of the interview but I advised His
Highness to taice a very strong line and I think he required
no urging to do so^
His Highness pointed out to me that he could not be
responsible for any regrettable incident that might take
place if the missionaries wandered about intbls fashion.
