dealing with, I feel^'l may say so, that Colonel ted would
have done better to have written and told the Shaikh
flankly what he intended doing - X eamot but feel that if
this had happened, the Shaikh would have been reasonable,
3^. have reacted well, and would have granted all his
requests. -hat has so upset the Shaikh (o^e to understand
his feelings properly, one must put oneself in his place
and be aware of the past history of the garden, is the
fact that he feels that he has been short circuited, and

visit, and put forward his case, all would be woll - -
suggest this seriously as a solution of the difficulty,
and I hope it will be given a try - The other way will
lead to further difficulties.
