wife axe to visit here at all, and, as 1 said in my telegram,
we shall be delighted to put you up, a sloop from the Senior
H&val Officer is the only way. There are, 1 believe,
technical rules against women travelling on His Majesty’s
Ships but these are sometimes waived. If you wish to ask
for a sloop the beet way would be for you to do it through
the Admiralty.
3. I am afraid that with the limited time at your
disposal it would be wiser to out out Shiraz. Though the
weather is improving by the end of February the ihiraz-

some days at a time owing to enow or rain.

would not help with regard to Buahire unless you got apecUl
permission through Seymour from the Iranian Government for
the royal Air Force to fly you down here. Moreover the
Royal Air ?oroe have rules against flying women passengers,
which are strictly adhered to.
