Memorandum.
Reference my memorandum Ho. 59 C dated 17th July 1920,
\ . < / ■
I enclose herewith a translation of Shaikh Salim’s reply to Ibn
Sa’ud,also a translation of his reply to Ibn Rashid’s letter.
His reference to the Anglo-Turkish Convention in the
former is interesting, in view of the fact that he wrote the
letter after he had been definitely told what our views on the
subject were.
*
Shaikh Salim sent me the copies of these two letters on
the 23rd by the hand of ’Abdul Latif,who told me that the Shaikh
had practically decided to ask for our good offices at once,and
that he would probably do so within the next day or so.
