made on us by his brother.Ea no longer constantly talks about
being -^in maud's Agent & does not interfere in affairs of iie^dl

such^without further need to definitely define his status,
■^in ^aud has also ceased asking me to refer te hi* in matters
concerning Najada in Bahrain,which wrs treating him as a
