PERSIAN GULF The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. .
8th. November, 1934.
My dear Fowle,
^ A T A K •
You will, I think, be interested to learn our
present position with regard to negotiations in ^atar.
The Shaikh has made it plain that he does not want
to comiaence negotiations until after Ramadhan, and to confirm
his intentions he has left for a tour of his territory and
also announced that he will spend the fast at an inconvenient
spot in theaesert. Our view is that he is waiting to get a
line from Kuwait before he commences business with us.
He have already made tne house in habitable,
and a geological survey party will have commenced operations.
I am now sending Mylles for a short visit to ^atar.
He will see the survey party, establish relations with the
leading inhabitants and if possicle pay courtesy visits on the
Shaikh.
Mylles should leave here about the end of next week,
most p'-oba^ly by tug, and it occured to me that you might
like to see him. If so will you kindly telegraph and I will
arrange for the tug to call at Bushire en route.
I need hardly say that we should be very & rateful for
any rdvice and assistance .you are able to give kylles.
not
.Ve were so sorry^to have been able to accept your
^ind invitation to luncn in -^ondon, but unfortunately we were
leaving England on that day. I made desperate eliorts to
telephone you cut the office had given me the wrong number
and I failed to make contact. .klany thanks all the same ani -
hop® you v/ere not inconvenienced.
