Will you kindly refer to my letter No;C/375 dated the
15th December 1934 about the visit of a geologist to Abu Dhabi
to look for water.
2. Unfortunately the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. Agent and Shaikh Sa ! id
bin Maktum of Dibai were ill, so that I could not, as I had
hoped, use Kr. Cox 1 visit at the time as a lever towards a
settlement of the Tank and landing ground question.
5. In the circumstances I made the most capital that
I could out of his visit and that of Dr. Holmes. The change
of attitude of the Shaikh was very marked and I hope that our
visit may have won him over to a better frame of mind.
Fortunately Ivlr. Cox requires to make an examination of certain
other places before he can give an opinion - so that we have
shown our goodwill, but the Shaikh has yet to receive the b
benefit (if any) from our action.
