"14/196 معاقبة شيخ الفجيرة. الشيخ حمد بن عبد الله الشرقي." [و‎‎٢‎٣‎٤] (٥٣٠/٤٨١)

Letter from Shaikh Hamad hin Abdullah A1 Shargi* dated the
15th Sha'han,1347(27-1-29), to Shaikh Sultan bin Salim,
ruler of Has ul Khaimah.
Your letter reached me : the men of whom you
wrote hare also reached us. The prisoners were released
before the arrival of the delegates. Please forgive, I did
not know, you would send some one because) I met you(when
you were afflicted with paralysis) a Iqngtime has passed,
and you did not send me any intimation (about yourself)•
UiMi
After the delegates sought to pa.toh up a peace)informed us
that they came on your behalf. I obeyed them but correspon
dence had taken place between me and Shaikh Said bin Hamad
through the hand of Sultan Syed Taimur bin faisal and he
took letters from us and these letters were shown to you
and the Shaikh^who are with you. Afterwards the Hon*ble the
Political Resident accompanied by Shaikh Isa bin Abdul Latil
corresponded with me and made conditions between me and him
and he signed and sealed the conditions and held himself
responsible for same. After this was done same/were killed
from your subjects / from the inhabitants of Baghla and you
wrote to me saying that you wanted God's injunctions to be
referred to decide the case. I obeyed that God's injunction
should be the arbiter. Afterwords some of my men were kill
ed and I delayed the answer until you could appear. Whenevei
they desire to take up the claim, they can inform you of it
and you let me know and we will come over.
A covenant on this line is also instituted between us in
the presence of your delegates for the prevention of moles^
tation of antagonism and for the interdiction of things
that have evil consequences. The man is himself evil
doer and you put all the blame on nfe.
These affairs have be'eh)brought to the notice of K.B.Isa
bin Abdul Latif and the Government, also Sultan Syed Taimur
bin Paisal/in their presence. If they want now to hold all
responsible
