Ab alroady tologrnphod.I think If It aan poonibly bo arranged,
that it is highly floBirnblo for moral effot that when you come the
'Luwronoo* ohould bo acoompaniod by ono or two othor ohlpd. It would
neerr. vory necessary that your visit iihould be morn iinpreuoivo and
dlotintt from ouutoraary touro of inspection,in ordor to bring home
to tho Bholk tbo gravity of tho oituution. As you are aware I have
alroady udvlsod and wurnod JJhalk Kaaa in oonneotion with tho mis­
rule, and tho further warning coming from you niUBt , to produoe,

realise tho situation unlo-so an impression be made on othoro who Jdd

I boliovo tho following would bo tho beat procedure; If
posniblo your arrival might bo fixed for the morning.After roooiv-

ing ahuik Raea on board,you would ratum his viBit at tho Ouotomo
end dolivor tho warning.This I think nhould bo oonvoyed to him in

private,for if any of his 0011a are pronont thoy will cortuinly aftoii
-wards belittle tho warning A oxplain away tho words uaod.in otdor
to please tho old gontleman A ourry favour with hliu. Ho is much
/*
more eaolly frightonod by himself. Afterwards Abdulla oould bo
oallod and warned in tho prosenoo of 3haik Raua und Hamad.
Ao rognrda Abdulla,I fool nure that a hint that ho s&ou.K

Ho will give no undertaking dn tho opur of the moment,and '• !
