In view of close relations between His
Majesty's Government and Ibn Saud, latter I am sure
considers recognition by His Majesty's Government as
*
an accomplished Fact, merely lacking definite form
to date,
I have consistently addressed him as His
Highness the Sultan in all communications but
consider nothing can be gained by delay of full
recognition.
I would suggest when he visits H.M.S."Emerald"
as being occasion for me to inform him of formal
recognition.
