I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
Ko.^S^dated 26th July 1020 fowarding your letters to Shaikhs
Khaled ben Ahmad and Homaid ben Abdol Aziz, Chief of -Ajman, and to
state that T have handed th« letters to the said Shaikhs.
-i'th rpfer^nce to your observation that you did not understand
Abdor Rahman and his "oartv were brought ^o the Agency.
I bee to state that when Abdor Rahman and his friends wese in the
fort at Ajman Shaikhs Khaied and Homaid could not expel them from
the fort. The two Shaikhs appealed to me to expel Abdor Rahman and
his friends from the fort. Therefore I used my good cf-fiees by
making strong representations to'Abdor Rahman and his party for 2
days and they agreed to leave the fort with the assurance of the
High Imperial Government as regards their -oro^erty and that they
should live in their Tiom^s at Hireh. Thereupon I consilted Shaikhs
Khalod and Hbmaid about-Abdor Rahman's proposal which they accepted"
The Shaikhs made no conditions but accepted the conditions.of Abdor
nahman and his party, and gave me assurances about this in the
presence of a number of the notables of.Shargah and Ajman. Then I
gave assurance and quarter to Abdor Rahman and his narty relying on ||
^assurances of the two Shaikhs.
"hen I brought out Abdor Rahman and his narty wilh t he agree
m^nt of Shaikh hal^d and took them to the jolly boat, the said
Shaikh reoiiPst^d me in a ^riendlv -ray that Abdor Rahman and his '
^arty might stay in the Agency for four days in order that every
thing might become quiet and it might become clear that tJiR Abdor
Rahman's departure vas on the assurance of the Government. I agreell
to Shaikh I haled's suggestion about Abdor Rahman and his narty
remaining in the Agency for the said period and then -oroeeed to
their homes at Ilireh.
