Sir,
I am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to transmit to you the
accompanying copy of a Draft of the letter which His Lordship now
proposes to address. In an amended form, to the Persian Charge
d'Affalres at this Court, upon the subject of the position of the
Sheikh of Bahrein.
The Duke of Argyll will perceive that the alterations in the
Draft have been made in conformity with what Is stated in your
letter of the 19th instant, but, before addressing the same to the
Persian Charge d'Affalres, Lord Clarendon is desirous of
ascertaining if the Draft, as now amended, meets with the
concurrence of His Grace.
I am.
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant
