Bamburgh,
N o rthumb e r1 and.
16th August,1938.
I was very glad indeed to have your letter, and
I hope to have a chance to see you soon, whether in
connection ¥/ith the Has Tanura husiness or not.
I ara staying here until ahout September 14th,
when ¥/e return to Oxford, hut this does not preclude my
going to London "before then, if any urgent business crops
up. I do not think it would pay you to come up here to
discuss the subject of your letter at present. I am sending
on your letter to the Foreign Office (Eastern Department),
w&o will know more about the Amir Saud's visit to England
than I know at present. It might be possible, as you
suggest, to speak a work to someone in the Amir's entourage,
but I have not yet heard which of the Saudi officials is
v/ith him; it mi^it be someone who has nothing to do with
such matters. Or the Foreign Office might prefer to take
it up, if they feel that they can help, in some other way.
I am writing to Mr. Baggallay, who is in charge of the Eastern
Department at the moment, and you may hear from him.
