I beg to inform your honour that I learnt
yesterday that you heard the complaint of Abdulla bin Saif
Naaim against his divers and also heard the complaint of
the woman Latlfah bint All bin Shahab. Accordingly I inform j
your honour that both of thsm ar« the subject of your frienc
L
a nd are well known to the public#
I feel much pained if I hear of such
instances as these,as I do not like that any correspondence
should take place between me and H.M's Political Agent re
garding such matters as I always try and settle matters by
friendly means when they arise between me and H.M's Politiot
Political Agent. I also have to inform your honour that at |
my interview with Ool.Trevor on his last visit to Bahrain,
His honour made it quite clear to me that the Political
Agent, would not hear any complaints whatsoever from any of
the subjects of the Ruler of Bahrain. I have a hope in your
honour that you will preserve the rights of your friend and
that in future you will enquire into the nationality of
ever^ complainant who comes to you f before taking up a case ,.,.
),for such are always the cause of misunderstanding. I
May you be preserved.
