Ur,
Pith reference to your xprees letter Ko*C14
Bated 6th Febxmary 1933, and encloeures.
I have tha honour to forward copy of the ngliah end
Arabic loiter which I transmitted to Pie hxcolleney the
Sheikh in accordance with tho instructions given mo in
para 2 of your letter, together with hie reply,
2» &b regards your pare 3, you will notlc that
I have requested Pis jixcellenoy the v. hoii-ch to keep w&
generally informed of the course of his disouse Lons
with the representatives of the A,1•0«C, and .astern
General Syndicate, I think however that both «*ul *G* and
you should know that in this matter of the '’oil con cess-
iorf* the - heikh, from the oonaaenoei »ent of the busineae,
has adopted a curiously close attldu* e f as far as I am
concerned, and has never yet asked me my advice or
confided to me any of his difficulties. This is unfor
tunate, cooing that in other matt-ra I appear to have
hie complete confidence.
