Ldy ^ear Card,
On tho 7th I had a Ion*: conversation with His Ili'ihaeoB
and explained to him that the draft a£roe:aoat which you had
ferrardod to Lie would undoubtedly not be acceptable to the
Shaikh of Qatar. His Highness himself suggested that Iks
word should bo inserted nnd I wrote it on tho draft in
his presence and he then read the particular sentence again
and was completely satisfied. The rest of the conversation

town
ar.fi at tho veils fringing the Zubnrah area. Just before tne
termination of our conversation, sfain at His Highness' request,
I added an additional sentence to the draft. 1 an enclosing
the draft with the wncil inserts for your and His Highness*
inspection. I also enclosing for your information a letter
which I received from His Highness on the morning of the 8th of
June. Xou will note that the whole sense of the sentence re-
(prding the Zubnr&fc area has again boon changed and that as It
now stcrus it has the sams meaning as it had on the 7th of June
before tho insertion of the word . There^is also an
additions! phrase regarding the houses of the hi Khalil ah.
It has sc far, bean my experience that when an undertaking
has been ^ivan that undertaking her stood unless the person to
whOLt it was given has himself suggested a change thero**peri.^ #
I was very surprised to receive the letter from Kis High
ness cn tho 8th of Juno and to realise that in spite of his
assurance? to me on tho 7th he was capawle of a volte face a
fev hours later. 1 skoil le glad if you will express my views
tc His Highness for X find it very difficult to do co aysaIf.
Unless ills Highness is prepared to allow the draft of the
7th of June to stand X must very regretfully refuse to have
anything further to do with this question. j
I shall be glad if you will let me have the enclosures
