in maintaining his legitimate position against his rebellious subjects.
2. Shaikh Hamad has on previous occasions acted with firmness agaiu

ment of India consider it of importance that he should be encouraged to assert

Shaikh Hamad himself had given a letter of recommendation to Shaikh Ahm*
Abdallah and to Khamis bin Shahin addressed to Ibn Saud. The anticipat 0 ^ ^
from Ibn Saud duly arrived in answer, and it is obvious that Ibn Saud ha ^
informed that Shaikh Hamad had no objection to the return of the Dowasir an ;

to prevent their return, and that a letter of recommendation from him
strengthen Shaikh Hamad s hands in getting them back.
