DATED gm jecr, 1933 ,
My dear Fowle,
Many thanks for your D.O. letter No .C /192 dated the
24th Novernber 1933 on the subject of our negotiations in Oatar.
I am more than pleased to find that you approve of
Chlsholm's explanation to the Shaikh of Qatar regarding the
letter which had given rise to some misunderstanding in the
Shaikh's mind, and also that you, personally, have had an op
portunity of making clear to him his position vis-a-vis his
obligations to His Majesty's Government in these negotiations.
There should now be no further difficulties on this score.
h 1*^0
Whilst on this subject you will remember that in my
D.O. letter of the 7th TTovember I asked you if it would be
possible for me to be Informed what the alter ations are that
His Ma j esty 1 s Government require to be made In our proposed
draft concession. I understand that our London Office Is still
ignorant 'concerning the alterations which have to be made and,
as Chlsholm is exoected to proceed to Bahrein by air from London,
arriving at Bahrein on the 14th December and at T )ohah on the
15th December, I should be extremely grateful for any Information
which you are able to give me on the subject. If the alterations
are of more than ordinary Importance, perhaps you would be kind
enough to telegraph the gl st of JLtham to me on receipt of this
letter, so that I may give Chlsholm any Instructions necessary
before he resumes negotiations with the Shaikh on the 15th
December. I shall be making contact with Chlsholm at Basrah
on the 13th Instant.
I am very pleased to have your opinion on the fi rst
^ wo points raised in the last paragraph of my letter of the
7™ ^ovemBer and we will be guided accordingly. With regard
the third point, I note that you will let me have a reply
as soon as possible. If you are not able to do this before
^e 13th December, i Presume that we shall be acting in accord-
^ce with H.M.G's wishes, if we oualify any clause which we may
