In any case I think the importance attached to the journey of Mr. Philby
and the impression it caused or might have caused have been much exaggera
ted especially if we take into consideration the fact that his journey was not
made by order of the Government nor with their permission. As to the armed
persons said to have accompanied Mr. Philby, they were merely such
guides, guards and servants as escort every one who travels in the desert to
protect and assist the traveller and to supply him with his requirements.
Consequently I hope that the explanation which I have given will serve
to remove suspicion (literally “ what has come into the minds ”) and to assure
of the good intentions of the Government of H. M. the King.
