No,- I.5.9.5 Dated 4211 MRIL. V 1.9^9
My dear Colonel Prideaux,
I thank you for your letters Tos. 92 and 93/S, toth of
the Jlst of Ilarch.
I guite agree that it would probably not be advisable
to attempt to withdraw the Draft Agreements already submitted
to the Sheikhs at Bahrain and Zoweit. I am pleased to learn
that you feel that onoe the general principles have been accep
ted by the Sheikhs, you do not consider that they will hold out
on account of such modifications as the withdrawal of the 10
year limitation and the second payment of Hs. 10,000/- in Clause
5 of the Prospecting licence Whilst it will be seen that your ^—
view is correct in as far as Mascat is concerned, I am not so
confident regarding Bahrain and Zoweit, as we of course have —
the influence of Major Holmes on behalf of the Eastern General
Syndicate to contend with. At Mascat Machie informs me the
Sultan would be entirely willing to sign the Agreement submitted
to him provided he is recommended to do so by Crosthwaite, and
it seems to me of first importance, if our negotiations are to
progress at all, that the understanding which has been reached
between the Colonial Office and my London Office should be
confirmed to you by the former.
I am much obliged to you for asking Daly to endeavour
to get copies of Eolmes T agreement ■:ith Sheiiih Isa, also copies
of any subsequent draft agreements which Holmes may have submit
ted. I note that they may be obtainable from the Colonial Office
and I will ask London to approach that Department.
1 was very pleased indeed to get your letter of the Jlst
of March informing me that you were proceeding here to meet Mr.
Amery, who desired you to accompany him on the 9^ instant.
