BRITISH LEGATION,
JNDDA.
February 12th, 19SI.
Your Royal Highness,
After Compliment s,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
Your Royal Highness 1 note 7/2/22 of February 11th regarding
a raid said to have been carried out against certain inhabi
tants of Teima by a party of Shararat tribesmen. I have not
failed to communicate your protest to the proper authori
ties but I should be glad to know the date of the incident
which is not given in your note.
I have drawn the attention of my Government to
the consideration mentioned in the second paragraph of Your
Royal Highness' note. I am in entire agreement as to the
desirability of continuing the efforts which have resulted
in a recent diminution of raids. In this connexion I would
inform Your Royal Highness that information has reached His
Majesty's High Commissioner in Trans-Jordan to the effect
that the Amir Neshmi, former Governor of Jauf, is organising
a strong raid against the Trans-Jordan Howeitat to take
place at the end of Ramadhan.
I shall be grateful if Your Royal Highness will
have this report investigated and cause the necessary steps
to be taken to prevent any enterprise of the kind. I would
point out that the Eowaitat are suffering severely from the
results of the raids of last October and how important it is
that the camels then looted should be restored at the earli
est possible date as requested in paragraph 7 of my note
No.12 of January 20th.
With highest respects,
be Minister for Foreign Affairs, ANJibv.. RYAN.
