31st July, 1940, and our telephone conversation of today
about the maps from the California Arabian standard Oil
Company, 1 have had a letter from Gibson of the India
Office (copy of which has been sent to you) asking whether
the Saudi Government have agreed to a request stated to
have been made to the Saudi Minister in London in respect
of the inclusion of certain data in these maps for the War
Office.
Political Agent Bahrein on receipt of these maps from the
Oil Company, to send copies of them to G-in-Cs India, and
Middle East. It seems that the Oil Company is reluctant

Saudi Arabian Government. I am sending a copy of this
letter to Gibson at the India Office.
I asked Gibson some time ago to request the
Yours
