I have the honour to report that ilr.Ghaw, Chief
"Fields** Geologist of the Anglo Persian Oil Company Ltd., arrived
suddenly last night (14th April 1932) and brought a letter for
. myself from the General tianager at Abadan anc another for His
Excellency the Shaikh.
i
2 # The purport of both letters, copies c£ which I am
forwarding with this, was to the effect that all geological, explor
ation work in Kuwait was to be abandoned forthwith.
At the request of ilr.Shaw I took him round to ca.
on His Excellency at S.SO.a.m. on the 15th April, ^oth to give him
an opportunity of thanking the Shaikh for all his many kin ^esses
in furthering the efforts of the geological party during its stay
in Kuwait territory, and in order that he might bid His Sxcellency
farewell.
4 # His Excellency was quite obviously distressed to
receive the sudden news, and expressed his proCound disappo in triers
that the Directors of the Anglo Persian Oil Company Ltd. had seen
fit to abandon their efforts so soon, just,when to his b±k S xxxx
uninitiated mind success was in sigb.t. He aor. 0^1 cxionf; t le
