Copy, in translation, of a letter No•68, dated
the 7th hafar 1552 (23rd May 1933) froiD His Majesty King
Ibn Sand to His Sxcellenqy Shaikh Sir iOmed A1 Jabir As-
Subah, K• 0• I• H•, C*8*I # , ^.luler of Kuwait.
I hope you are perfectly well and enjoying the
best of health.
Brother! lay God bless thee: It is long since
I desired to talk about a certain matter, but fearing that
communications would lead to no success, thereby losing
all hopes, I was inclined to think that matters would be
best settled without referring them to you.
You are undoubtedly aware of our relations, both
during the past and at present: They are things that can
not be explained.
Now, lay God preserve thee, things have long been
delayed and the world, may the .xLmighty God protect us
>
both from its evils - is only mortal and so are its people.
That this affair of ours (the Kuwait Blockade)
should exist between our two countries and two families,
and for us to give it no proper attention, is neither
beneficial nor advantageous; although of course you must
know that it is to my real interests that this matter
(the Blockade) should never be settled, and this fact, we
presume, is quite clear to you as well as to others.
What I have expressed below is my opinion, and
it is for you to safeguard your interests if you think it
necessary for you to do so. But if it is clear that both
our interests are involved then thanks oe to Him, io.c the
family is one and our countries are likewise one. I pray
God that you will never stand in need oi our help.
If it (an agreement between us) is in the inte
rests of your country, you should look into the matter,
