To—The Acting Secretary to the Government of Bombay, Political Dept.
I am desired to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated the 16th
September 1871, No. 442S, and of its enclosure, relative to the recognition of
gyud Burgash as the ruler of Zanzibar.
9 Tn renlv I am to request that the Political President in the Persian
Gulf may be furnished with the extracts from Dr. Kirk’s letter, which relate
to the question of the Zanzibar subsidy to Muscat and also a copy of the otter
from slud Burgash to his brother. In forwarding the above His Excellency
to Council desires that Colonel Pelly may be asked whether he is aware what
Syud Toorkee’s views are with regard to the subsidy, and whethei there are, in
his opinion, any grounds for believing that there is a disposition on the part of
Svud Toorkee to compromise the matter with the ruler of Zanzibar. . It is not
desirable, I am to add, that Colonel Pelly should make any communication to
Svnrl Toorkee on the subject.
