I note from your letter (p.Z.1503/58) of the 16th
March that Lt.-Col. G. Dalyell of the Binns, G.I.E. will be
attached to the Sultan of Muscat during the period of official
hospitality*
Before receiving your letter, I had already reserved
from March 27th to April 11th at the Royal Palace Hotel,
Kensington, a suite consisting of a sitting-room, double
bedroom and bathroom for Colonel and Mrs. Dalyell of the
Binns, and had notified him accordingly*
Possibly Colonel Dalyell of the Binns may have
booked other accommodation, but he will undoubtedly let me
know if he has, and I can then arrange with the hotel to
accept responsibility for it for the official period.
I will include Mrs. Dalyell of the Binns with her
husband as a Government guest.
Yours sincerely.
A.C.B. Symon Esq.,
