He is brought with the soldiers and does not leave Khartoum. As for my information on this trip, it is that my master took him and had him speak with his followers, Qasim and Makki, because they were always late on the road and arrived after the others, after the tent was pitched and the belongings placed. [The two mentioned individuals have passed]. I do not know if he spoke with anyone other than them or not. This is what I know – Agent for 13th and 4th Brigade Infantry, Expeditionary Force – That, based on what your excellency verbally alerted us to regarding the interrogation of the three individuals belonging to Abd al-Rahman Bey, and the clarification of their true situation, they are currently imprisoned in the 1st Brigade.

And to shorten it, we took a picture of it to keep it here as well, and it is this: (Confession of Ali Abd al-Rahman – What happened is as we were at the [Al-Abulqabun] station. After my master Abd al-Rahman Bey acted, I received a reply from him accepting the delivery of his father. So I took it and headed to the village of [Al-Abulqabun] and handed it to an Arab man named Yusuf, son of Nasr Allah. Qasim, one of the Bey's followers, was with me. We went out in the morning with the caravan leaving the corral. Similarly, the Bey always took his tent, Qasim Abd al-Rahman, and Makki, son of Al-Haj, with him. We did not know where they were heading. And the one who was writing the replies in his handwriting was Makki, his relative. When we moved to the western side of Hur al-Rahd, Abd al-Rahman Bey, accompanied by the aforementioned Makki and Qasim, went out. This is what I know. Abd Abd al-Rahman also used to go out with them. What the aforementioned confessed is with us and in our presence, without coercion or duress. Seal of the Commander of the 1st Brigade, 2nd Brigade Infantry, Expeditionary Force.
