I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency’s note of the

agreement which you considered appropriate for the purpose of giving effect to the
spirit of clause 1 of the Anglo-French Agreement of 1916 as regards relations with the
Arab population in the Blue sphere and Area A, indicated in the map annexed to the
agreement, as well as the administration of such districts as may be occupied by Allied
forces.
In acknowledging the receipt of this communication, I have the honour to inform
your Excellency, in accordance with instructions just received from Baron Sonnino, that
