My dear Fowle,

PERSIAN QUIT,

i«H
Many thanks for your letter No.79-S. of 30th January.
I. am sorry that the max) and enclosures sent with my
letter of 0.8th January were not clear to you and hone my telegram 1
despatched on^th February made things olainer. I do not
L>' understand how our blue-print fails to show the supposed southern
I "boundary of Qatar, as it shows very clearly in all our conies of f
the same print. However 1 have now received ^rom London a replica
of the map which they gave to the
India Office
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.
at your request,
and noiV enclose a photostat cony of it for your records. Tt
clearly shows the same boundary as on our blue-Prints.
. ; Possibly you imagined that our blue-print was marked
plate Til because of the references marked against three lines
of section on the map. Actually the blue-print is Plate I, and
the references are to a plate III which comprised Geological
details.
Yours sincerely
Enclosure.
