Tteains 22nd August, Philby left Shabwa four days ago for Shibam. He

about 130 men with machine guns. On arrival Shabwa four men returned
west to report to King Feisal. They stated that they were looking for ruins
and prospecting and anyone wanting to fight could have one. Ends.
Marher is in upper Aulaqi country 20 miles west of Nisab.
Subiect to your approval I intend sending letter to Philby by air inform
ing him of my information, asking for an explanation should information
b? correct, and request him to withdraw Saudi armed party from Protect
orate 7f it is true that he is so accompanied. Even if he is not accompanied
by armed party, I consider passage of Philby and Saudi personnel throng
Protectorate without reference to H. M. Government and Aden is an impolitic
ancf discourteous act. I shall be glad to have your telegraphic instructions
as soon as possible.
