Inclosure III
My Lo rd,
I have the honour to refer to my Secret despatch
&
of the 1st November, 1930, and to my telegram No. 126 of
the 15th November, regarding the two raids from Nejd
against the Howeitat of Trans-Jordan which took place
near Jebel Wadaat on the 26th October.
2 . I now transmit for Your Lordship’s information
two further letters from the British Resident, Amman,
No. RN/2 and RN/4, dated the 5th November, which give
supplementary details as regards the raids in question.
I transmit also for Your Lordship’s information
a copy of a personal letter addressed to me by the Amir
Abdullah on the subject of these raids. \
3. I consider that, to maintain the prestige of
the Amir over the tribes of Trans-Jordan, it is essential
that the looted camels should be immediately restored.
4 . I should be grateful if His Majesty’s Chargd
d’Affaires at Jeddah could be asked to lodge an energetic
protest and to demand immediate restitution in full of
the camels referred to above.
I have, &c.,
( Signed ) J» R* Chancellor.
High Commissioner for Trans-Jordan,
The Right Hon’ble Lord Passfield, f.C.,
His Majesty’s Principal Secretary of btate
for the Colonies.
