QUOTE
My dear Colonel Fowle,
This is just a line to thank you for your most kind
hospitality to Chisholm and for the time you were able to spare
to him to discuss the details of our Kuwait draft Agreement.
l have telegraphed my London Principals in terms of
the telegram which Chisholm drafted and showed to you and i
sincerely trust that we shall soon have news that the draft
meets with the approval of ii.M.G. 1 confess i am apprehensive
of any long hiatus in our direct discussions at this stage in
case a skilful negotiator (which we know Major tiolmes to be)
should manage to twist it to our disadvantage in his casual
conversations with the Shaikh.
Ghisholm tells me that you would like working plans
of a Squash court and it will be a pleasure to prepare these
and in such a way that the construction cost can be kept to a
minimum. 1 must however ask you to excuse a short delay,
probably extending to a couple of weeks, as our Drawing office
at the moment have their hands unusually full.
i hope you will be visiting this part of the world
before very long, and if you have the time and inclination to
see round Abadan and pay a visit to Fields, l shall be only
too pleased to arrange a short programme to suit your movements.
with kindest regards,
Yours sincerely.
