1. Reference your tele^rsin ! r o. r/76 dated ^he 3rd Larch,
1942, directing me to convey to ihaikh 3alman a suitable message
of condolence from TT i3 1 ajesty 1 s Government.
2. I have already (three days ago) conveyed to ohaikh Salman
the news of the recognition of his succession by TT is Majesty's
Government, and your congratulations and good vishes. A message
of condolence from TT i3 l/ajesty's Government delivered at this
stc^e would - whatever accompanying explanation were given - be
puzzling to the Shaikh, and liable to misinterpret, tion on his
part.
3. The Shaikh assumes that my visit of condolence, paid
on the d.y following Shaikh Hamad's death, was made by me in
my representative, rather than in my personal^capacity: and this
fact would render even more nuzzling to him the delivery of a
message of condolence now.
4. I have therefore delayed taking action on your telegram
under reference pending your consideration oi these facts and
circumstances.
