Telegram from the Political Resident, Bushire, to H. M’s. Secretary
of State for India, London, No. 1177, dated the 5th December 1934.
(Copy by post to Government of India, and the Political Agent, Kuwait.)
Dickson has received a private letter from Hafiz Wahba that latter
is visiting Kuwait shortly. Can you confirm? Dickson has also received
information that ’Ibn Sa’ud may shortly move to a hunting camp about 100
miles from Kuwait. Possibly the two moves are not unconnected.
2. I would be grateful for previous warning whenever possible of visits
of important individuals such as Hafiz Wahba to the Arab States of the
Gulf. i

Letter from the Foreign Office, to the British Embassy, Baghdad,
No. P. Z.-7575/34, dated the 10th December 1934.
You may be glad to know that the Sheikh Hafiz Wahba, the Saudi
Arabian Minister in London, intends to spend about a week in Bagdad
on his way to Saudi Arabia on leave.
We cannot say exactly when he will be in Bagdad, but he told Rendel
he was leaving London on the 3rd December and would travel via Palestine
to Bagdad, leaving Alexandria by rail on the 24th December. From Bagdad
he is going to Koweit, where he hopes to see Colonel Dickson, and from
Koweit he will go to Riyadh. *
