Halul Island and that your consent had not been obtained to this. You stated
that before the war when it was proposed to build something on the island your
consent had first been obtained. I have looked into the matter, O Shaikh, and
find that what you say is correct. In the circumstances I regret that you were not
consulted about the building in question earlier and should be grateful for an
lling in4 assurance that you have no objection to its construction.
The building, which has not yet been completed, is intended to house a light
at|0E which will be of great benefit to all kinds of ships voyaging in the vicinity of the
'P n l; island. There will be no persons living in the building when it is completed, but the
