I am informed by the Consul that you had sent him a verbal message
telling him that you would pay a personal .visit to me (your friend) tomor-
row. My friend, if you mean a friendly visit to me only for salutation, then
that you couid have done today on board the ship as usual. But if you have
objections and complaints, I inform you that you have received a reply to the
applications, you and a few people of yours sent me. I am not prepared to
discuss with you in that respect particularly as long as Colonel Knox has
prevented you from interfering into the political matters in Bahrein, So
1 '.uch matters do not concern you. Should there be anything requiring discus
sion I should discuss with Saikh Hamad in whose hands rest the affairs of the
Government of these isles. I shall be much pleased to receive your visit
tomorrow only if you so desire, and that too only to exchange salutes and
not to touch any political matters at all.
My object by visitting the isles of Bahrein is to discuss reform problems
at Bahrein with the Consul and has nothing to do with the applications and
the reply I sent you is final. With compliments.
Yours sincerely,
