God I SJiall do nothing to harm or diaplea.se you,but shall guard
our friendship and union. But I have strong reasons to put
forward regarding what Bawish and his followers have done,and
I have done what was right towards you,and my condition towards
you is known,so there is no need for long explanations over such
as unworthy event;as the proverb says "it is bad to think .over
the past”.
Regarding the signing of the paper j I must ask you to
think the matter over carefully,and I am sure you will see
the right and benefit of remaining as we were in the past.I
trust you will abandon the things which annoy me and please
our enemies,and,please God,you will only see a good result
which will please you. With reference to Dawish,as I told you
before,! cannot take action against him without letting you
know,as he is of no importance, though,by the grace of God, I
could in every way. I have received the camels,riding camel
and horse,which you sent with the envoys and I trust that
you will now order th^return of the rest of the property.!
hope you will not make any objection to this,as it is a thing
for which I cannot hold you excused.
I am sending you Mubarak bin Haif and Kilal with Hasir*
