After compliments,
As I hare always repeatedly confirmed, I do not
wiah to be a trouble maker and do not desire to be the cause of
bloodahed. I have always confirmed that I am loyal to my democratic
government and uphold your interests and those of your great govern
ment and that I am against any act which would be detrimental to
in V ^ vernment's interssts* I therefore send this letter through
the bearer, Alsayed iibdul Raaak iOsalaan Alalafi, explaining my
reaiiaess to do anything in my power in the interests of His
Britannic Majesty^ Government and yours. Indeed, I have
already pledged myself to this and my return to my hone land
and birth place w^s for nothing but this, -and if I had any
aimc other than to establish my rights, such as to cause trouble
or bloodshed, 1 would have taken advantage of opportunities
which I have had previously, but I disdained these. But for
what happened on my last return to my birth pl^ce, the res; onsibllity
entirely iiae on the shoulders of the Officer Commanding the Iranian
L-arrison •-'bo created all the trouble without any reason and from
lack of understanding. I4y withdrawal was not at all due to cowardice
and fear on my part but, on the contrary, due to my shrewdness
an. soluly to avoid bloodshed and to safeguard your interests
and His lOajesty's. To confirm, the opinion of me held by the
public incibiding the religious people headed by their leader,
the Great Mlem, the great reformer Alahaikh Abdul iiarim Alhanhahy,
is that I sm a prudent and discreet person and it is not my
habit to lower my prestige or to do anything detrimental to yours
and your Government^ Interests and, if you investigate into r.jy
statement, I am confident that it will be found truthful. I
trust and fully hope that I will always have your favours and
not be out of your sight.
In cocolusion, accept my respects and regards.
Yoors sincerely,
(3d.) Abdullah in Shaikh Kbasal,
