With reference to oar official letter of the 12th of March numbered as above

Colonel Beilly that the British Vice-Consul at Jibuti has informed him that
the flight over Sanaa on 7th March reported in the Besident’s telegram of the
9th March was made by French aeroplanes from Jibuti,
We therefore propose to telegraph to the Resident as follows “ Your
telegram of 9th March No. T. 17 and your telegram of 17th March No. 78 last
sentence. It is presumed that you have informed Iman accordingly and that
no further action on our part is required ”.
Do you concur ? If so, perhaps you will let me know by phone. We are
not sending you a copy of the Besident’s telegram of 17th March with this,
since it deals also with another matter.
1 am sending similar letter to Johnstone and a copy to Laithwaite.
