c# His Hlgimess has fur-bher "been good enough "bo hand
me a copy ot "the draft/ ot revised 'brea'by as he considers it;
snould strand and /X had commenced a "brans 1 at/ion "bhereof but;
i I £
I round it so f\ill of unsuitable language and ambiguities
of which the very brief conversation that I have had with
Fis Highness have convinced me that His Highness did not
fully realise the import that I came to the conclusion that
to translate the document in its present form would be mere
Waste of labour and decided instead to discuss the two drafts
verbally and simultaneously and if possible produce something
more intelligible for submission to higher authority.
49 My Principal object in submitting this ad interim
report is to place on record the fact that at an interview
with His Highness this morning, I asked His Highness to grant
me a somewhat lengthy interview with a view to the discussion
of the two drafts. His Highness alluded to the heat and his
incessant worrying by Bedouin litigants, and finally said that
he would write to me later on and I came to the conclusion,
rightly or wrongly,that, as has already happened in these ne-
-gotiations. His Highness is only half hearted in the pursuit
of them.
^ • As I presume we have no special obiect in view,
at present at any rate,in expediting the revision, I do not
propose to take any further steps for the present, unless His
Highness moves in the matter. I would, how6iver,in about S
weeks* time again press for an interview for discussion and
this time in writing. If His Highness still temporises, I
would subject to further instructions from higher authority,
allow the matter to drop until His Highness sees fit to move.
I have the honour to be.
Sir,
Your most obe^iient servant.
