Private Secaretary,
Please see Foreign Office letter of 20th July
suggesting that it would be appropriate if the
Government of India bore the cost of about £200
which was expended by H*M*Minister on gratuities
to the Saudi Arabian staff in connection with the
Viceroy’s visit to Ibn Saud.
It is proposed to ask the Government of India
whether they are willing to meet this expenditure.
Another possibility is that it should be met by
H.E.personally, though reference to this is not made
in the draft letter.
Have you any observations?
