petuato on us tho pleasures of Islam.
I beg to inform you that the Almighty God brought about a meeting,
between mo and your brother Shaikh Ahmed bin Ali and wo both expressed to
each other sentiments .of reproach which we had hitherto harboured in our
minds; and we excused each other for what had passed and there remains no
ill-feeling in our minds; and we have bccomo sinccro towards each other for the
remainder of our lives and wo consider that wo have begun our lifo to-day; and
wo liavo buried everything which passed between us bol'oro this day, specially
tho mutual roproach: aud ever sineo I interviewed brother Shaikh Ahmed X
liavo dropped the matter for his sake. If it (money) was ten times more, it
would not equal in value one of your foot-prints. You may bo assured now

room for mischief between us. I beg you will cxcuso mo for tho expressions

under all tho circumstances, and for this happy hour, during which God has
dispelled from our minds all doubts. May you bo safe, aud kindly convoy our
salams to your people.
