At Binns,Linlithgow
June 2?th 19J2
Dear Laithwaite,
Your latter of the 23rd June 1932 has been forwarded
to me here (near Dunkeld). I am afraid that I should not
otherwise be in or near Town on the 21st July,but I fully
agree with you that it would make a great difference to
Shaikh Muhammad (and possibly help a bit in Bahrain) to have
with him someone who knows him and his country , and I will,
therefore,gladly come down to London to accompany him to the
Royal Garden Pasty. I presume that his attendant (!) will
not go with him ?
I have not met him for many years,so I think that it would
be wise for me to see something of him before the actual day #
and I would suggest that I should come by the night train of
the U:/leth July and taKe him out a bit on the 19th and 20th:
can you tell me where he will be staying then?
I presume that he will be in sober Arab attire , and has
not adopted the Glengarry bonnet of ’Iraq or the Homburg of
Turkey,with which I could not bear to be associated in
public !
Yours sincerely.
India Office
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.
