Foreign Office telegram No.518.
I have approached the Sultan about a representative in
the boundary negotiations. He said he had considered the possibility
since you first raised the matter in your last visit, but he had decided
he had nobody available to send. I urged the advantages on him, suggesting
Saiyid Ahmed bin Ibrahim, Minister of the Interior, and asking if he
would like time to consider the matter, but he was adamant and said his
mind was made up.
2. I received the impression that it is not lack of a
suitable representative that made the Sultan refuse, but a desire not to
be implicated directly in the negotiations as far as possible in case
this might cause trouble with the Imam. It is revealing that when I J
pointed out the Saudis might suggest dealing direct with the Imam over
Eastern boundary, he said that he could hardly oppose the Imam but felt
sure that in such a case the Imam would consult him first before replying
to the Saudis,* Sultan finally suggested that difficult questions
requiring tribal knowledge during the negotiations might be put to him
telegraphically through this
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
