ear Dr. elchera,
In the comae at our recant conrorsation#
when you wore good movL^i to convey to a© a message from
1 % , r*tf«r on the subject of hie vioit to anaa* you mentioned
that an incident had occurred with the Aden Felice ea route.
Ac T wac at a lose to understand how such an
incident could have occurred in view of the fact that Dr* iHi'er
had written to me to aay that he had had a very friendly
reception at Aden# T made enquiries of the resident from whom 1
have now received the following reply:-
n A careful enquiry has boon made and it appears
that a certain Herr aul Seer, an uatrian artist, notified his
intention to visit Aden for the purpose of making eiretches.
He enquired whether any restricts ana were likely to be put on
hi© movements for this purpose. T order to relieve him of his
anxiety on tills point a junior olice Officer was instructed to
meet him on arrival imd to explain that apart from certain
prohibited areas in the fortifications, he could sketch wherever
he liked. fhc Officer boarded the ship for this purpose and,
most unfortunately, mistook Dp# ’ rtif©r for Herr Paul Boor and
delivered his message to the former. ^he Officer reported it to
the Commandant of olice itx o, hearing that Dp# J rtif©r had seemed
much amsod and had replied that he was not a painter, dismissed
the matter from his mind* I may also mention that Dr. Frdfer
whan dining with Colonel Aeilly at this Residency did not refer
to the incident in
