- Title:
- Letter No. 97: Commodore John Patterson Porter, Commander of the Indian Naval Squadron in the Persian Gulf, to Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Hennell, Resident in the Persian Gulf, Bushire
- Scope & Content:
- This letter has no date, but a note on the verso states that it was received on 26 August 1850. In the letter, John Patterson Porter forwards an extract, dated 24 August 1850, from Lieutenant Frederick Erskine Manners's report of his trip to Katiff [Al-Qaṭīf] and his efforts to recover stolen items from the Sheik there. Porter reports that Manners did not receive the copy of Samuel Hennell's letter of 19 August 1850 and suggests that Manners should return to Katiff to carry out the instructions contained in that letter. Porter estimates that the Tigris with her boats will have sufficient force to recover even more than the equivalent to the articles lost, adding that Manners has informed him that he managed to get his vessel within gun shot range of the fort. The extract follows the letter.
