Dear Department, ^4^3
We sent you in our letter No. 550/18/11 of* March 1st,
a highly conjectural sketch map attempting to show the possible
lie of the de facto frontier between Saudi Arabia and the Yemen
and the approximate location of the tribes in the high mountain
area, which has figured so largely in recent quarrels. The
map was produced very hurriedly from a rough sketch which the
Minister had made out and, after the bag had gone, it was found
that certain slight mistakes had been made in the process of
reproduction. The subsequent rush made it impossible to
straighten out the mistakes, which were not very important in
view of the conjectural nature of the whole thing.
On June 5 the Minister showed his sketch to Fuad,
whose previous information was given extempore and may have
been misunderstood. In any case he has since picked up
additional facts. We now enclose a further sketch, which,
though still largely guesswork, is a better attempt to combine
certain indications in existing maps with Fuad’s data. It is
on the scale originally used by the Minister, 1 inch equals 12
miles and the outlines of the corresponding 1/253,440 sheets of
South West Arabia are shown with approximate accuracy, though
these go a bit wrong owing to the curvature of the earth and
defects of instruments. The main differences are as follows:
(a) Fuad is positive that the frontier runs at first
