Tuesday 4th April

Fort.

HH came in, much earlier than usual, and got Hick's letter re Sh Ali of
Qatar. He was simply furious and just let himself go, he detests Hick &
GP and ran over all the things about both of them that had happened
before. Sh A & I spent three hours listening to a violent tirade. He
wrote a very badly worded angry letter to Hick.

RAF people came in about buying stone, they are behind in their contracts
& the Americans probably saying told you so.

Rode over to the Race Course with MG and all the way back over the
bridge.

Snow came in & stayed on for dinner.

Wednesday 5th April

Fort.

M took her day in bed. Rode round the town, didnt go far as the filly
seemed tired. Hadow came in to discuss the crisis, Hick not back till
tomorrow, I fancy Hadow thought Hick had acted very unwisely.

Painted at Zinj in afternoon.

Thursday 6th April

Fort.

Promoted the Haik I/C Camel Section to Harldar & one of the men to
L/Haik. Yusef Fakroo came to call, most enthusiastic about M & said his
wife wished to call - unusual as they are so old fashioned.
