of Muscat, and I am hoping that those negotiations will be
completed in time to enable him to proceed to Yemen before
the weather gets too hot* He will, however be instructed
to call at Aden and report himself to Hie Excellency the
Chief Cac&aiseioner of Aden en route*
X gather that the approval of His Majesty’s
Government is not required to the contents of this draft
concession, and I thoroughly appreciate that His Majesty’s
Government will not exercise any pressure on the Imam of
Yemen in the matter*
On the other hand, I believe His Majesty’s
Government would prefer that Major Holmes should not proceed
direct to San’a without first explaining to His Excellency
the Chief Commissioner of Aden the object of his proposed
visit, and taking from His .Excellency such instructions, if
any, as His Excellency may wish to give in the matter.
The object of this letter is to enable His Majesty’s
Government to communicate with His Excellency the Chief
Commissioner of Aden on the subject of Major Holmes*
approaching visit, and to give him such inetruetions in the
matter as they my think fit*
Should you wish for any further information on
the subject, the undersigned will be glad to attend at the
Colonial Office for the purpose of supplying it at any time
which may be convenient.
X have, etc*,
