Notes
Praise be to God alone And prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad and his family Tangier on the 2nd of Jumada al-Thani in the year 1329 My brother and dear, the respected, the honorable, the great, the trustworthy, the great Mr. Al-Tayeb Al-Muqri, may God protect you, and peace and mercy be upon you for the goodness of our master, his support. Yesterday evening, the British army informed you that the English state sent him a telegram and kept him waiting. The happy embassy, and that the state had prepared everything necessary for it, and we were pleased, by God, with this happy news, because the English state was advancing one man and delaying another in accepting the embassy as a representative. Failure to accept had an ugly impact on the relations between the two countries and called for interpretations in which there was no good for us. So thank God that this incident has ended. I have decided to travel, God willing, in accordance with the orders issued by our father, the Father, on the following Monday, with the Caliph Hajj Mukhtar, heading to Paris first. In the company of our master, the father, may God protect him. If what is necessary, then hasten for me a search by ordering him, and we have not left his support on the Old Testament, and the address of the embassy in London is Westmi, ster palace hitel westminster aterrt London. I learned that the English Pashdur received a complaint from his consul in Fez regarding the order to arrest Iyas for them, and that the consul says that he went to the provinces, so you spoke harshly to him. I was surprised by what the consul said, and I said that the brother must have strong reasons for that. I think that the governor will write to the representative officially, and the representative will return the matter to you. What your brother sees is the way to go now, especially with the English, as they are now hostile to us. The severity of the stubbornness in his matter, Espanyol Majdir, and this is not hidden from the inner circle of your brothers. The good you have done to them and patience with them, and you know better than anyone else the benefit of the job to return from that to the profitable news here except silence. And it appears that the Espanyols are not included in the intelligence going on today in (Bitr), for they were forced to stop because the British state went to them on the road and their time from every new occupation. Do not fail, brother, in sending your news as soon as possible, and I promise you and its members to write to you daily during your travel. Peace be upon everyone, and peace be upon you, your brother Ali Zaki, may God grant him success.
