- Title:
- Letter from Captain Thomas Perronet Thompson, 17th Light Dragoons, Commander and Agent, Deristan to Francis Warden, Chief Secretary to the Government
- Scope & Content:
-
The letter concerns joint military action with Sa‘īd bin Sultān Āl Sa‘īd, the Imam of Mascat [Muscat] to be taken against Al Ash Karah, a dependency of the Beni Abou Ali [Banī Bū ‘Alī] tribe, as a result of acts of piracy. An attempt to communicate with the Shaikh of the Beni Abou Ali tribe, which resulted in the death of the Shaikh of Rasal Hadd, is described in the letter. The Captain's suspicion that there may be a link between slavery at Mascat and the Beni Abou Ali tribe is also briefly discussed.
Also mentioned is a visit to Mascat by two Persian ambassadors, who enquired into the British presence at Kishme [Qeshm].
The letter was written and sent from Mascat, which the Captain is visiting due to the state of his health.
