23rd Auerust 1932,
My dear Colonel Fowle,
I had intended to write you by the last sea mail
regarding a small mission we are undertaking down the Gulf
but owing to a sudden change of plans to suit H.E. the Sheikh
of Koweit's convenience, I omitted to do so as I had to leave
on Saturday, the mail day, at dawn for Koweit by air. Please
accept my apologies.
Some y ear s ago we exchanged correspondence with the
Sheikh of Qa^tar by T \hiich we were granted an exclusive exploration
license within his territories, ye are anxious to confirm and
exTend"l:hat license as we may shortly be turning our attention
■erritories.
One of our Staff Mr. A.F. (Haji) Williamson, whom
you probably know, is a personal friend of H.E. the Sheikh of
Qatar and frequently calls in to see him when touring the Gulf
in connection with our distribution activities.
Mr. Williamson is now on one of these tours down the
Gulf in company with Mr. My lies, a senior Official of the Company,
and 1 have asked them to call in at Doha to approach and, if
possible, come to an understanding with H.E. the Sheikh in the
matter.
I shall, of course, advise you at once if there are
any further developments.
P.S. I am taking the opportunity
of Chisholm f s visit to ask him
to deliver this letter to you.
Yours sincerely
Lieut-Col. T.C.W.Fowle, C.B.E.,
Iple the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf,
B u s h i r e.
