My telegram No. 241 [of 26th May - Viceroy’s visit to Ibn
Saud]. *
Viceroy will leave Cairo on 5rd June and will spend night
of 5rd/4th June at Riyadh continuing his journey on 4th June.
2. Question of interpreter arises. Is there an interpreter on
Ibn Baud’s staff at Riyadh or should one be picked up at Cairo
or Jedda? In latter case could you or His Majesty’s Ambassador
please arrange for suitable interpreter to accompany Viceroy and
return in aircraft which will be taking Viceroy to Riyadh?
5. I have advised Viceroy to travel via Jedda if at all
possible, so that he may obtain benefit of your advice regarding
details of visit. He wishes to know in particular what tips he
should give, and would be grateful if you could have the
necessary gold and/or silver ready for him#
