From Resident,Buohire.
To Daly,Bahrain,
No.655
Dated 10th April 1922,
Demi-official.
Your letter dated the 5th April re reforms.
My impression is that Government's attl tude is very much *
let sleeping dogs lie 1 , and I should have to consult them
before I could promise the Sheikh anything at all definite in
the way of ^pport. I think it would "be best If you put in
an official letter giving proponed reforms with spare copy
I could send on to Government asl^for telegraphic reply, or
since no doubt it is advisable to act quickly perhaps you could
send report ± h with resume in telegraphic form which could be
telegraphed on.
