Salaams and respects.
I have to acknowledge receipt of Jfour Excellency’s
letter No. 463 (M) 52 of September 5th, 1925, relative to
the appointment of Sir Gilbert Clayton as the representative
of the British Government in the forthcoming negotiations.
He is welcome and we await his arrival with the greatest
pleasure and delight.
With reference to your suggestion that the meeting
should take place at Rabigh, as being removed from the
scene of hostilities, I wish I could agree to that, but it
is necessary for me to remain in the present position for
the moment. The meeting can, however, be held at Rahra or
Briman, which are away from the scene of hostilities to the
North by about four hours journey, and are near the coast.
1 wish I could have agreed to your porposal as regards
Rabigh, but the urgent and termendoua work does not allow of
my absence from this position in a place such as Rabigh.
I am waiting for your reply on that point. Respects
