FEISAL I (1885-1933), King of Iraq. Letter signed to General Gilbert F. Clayton, administrator of occupied Palestine, 2 August 1918. 1 page, folio. In Arabic, with translation.
"THE ARAB NATION, WHO NEVER FORGET YOUR GOOD DEEDS, WILL FOREVER CHERISH THE KINDEST SENTIMENTS TOWARDS THE ENGLISH PEOPLE"
Feisal acknowledges Clayton's letter thanking hims for a cordial reception accorded to Chaim Weizmann. "We consider that we have done nothing but our duty towards him. Moreover, courtesy imposes upon us the duty of welcoming such an illustrious man when he comes into our midst." Turning from matters of diplomacy and hospitality towards military affairs, Feisal writes: "In virtue of the fact that in these historical days our interests are common, I trust you will be good enough to encourage the movement for the enlistment of Arab Recruits in Palestine, and smooth every difficulty out, if difficulty may be. I assure you that the Arab Nation, who never forget your good deeds, will forever cherish the kindest sentiments towards the English people."
