memorandum addressed to me by the Saudi Government on the
20th June regarding the eastern frontiers of Saudi Arabia.
Although this translation has been made with great care, I

the note, to send you copies of the original Arabic texts.
I may say that Fuad Bey Hamza was good enough to read the
translation in the form it assumed after my conversation with
him on the 22nd June, on the distinct understanding that he
was not thereby making himself responsible for the English
text, and. had only two alterations to suggest when we met
again next day. The first was purely verbal. The second
related to the adjective before "frontier line" in the last
phrase of paragraph 2 of the note. He suggested that it
might be rendered "existing" or "de facto" but I think that
the sense he was aiming at fc is better expressed by "actual"
2. My conversation with Fuad Bey on the 22nd June was
long and detailed. I must not attempt to reproduce the
whole of what passed but will give the gist in the follow
ing paragraphs.
3. I suggested to Fuad that, while the second sentence
of paragraph 2 of his note professed to be based on a
