Went to Jiddah, taking lunch. Lovely day & very pleasant there, the Maconnels & Mrs

Phillips & Kennedy joined us for tea, they were going to tea at Subeian & came on from
Budega, as we were late they drove us back from Budega.

Went over to Agency before dinner & then had people to dinner, Wills, Campbell, Gunns, &
S Wortley. Quite a pleasant party, all talkative & good bridge.

Saturday 24th February

HH called at Agency, CS appeared ruffled & kept him back to talk about the decorations, Shs
M & S went too, Sh M discussed it with me. HH told ABJ all about it who came back to tell

me, HH seems to have replied quite sensibly & CG appears to have got very excited &
shouted - according to HH. He also mentioned the appointment of heir apparent -

approving of it.

A long session with Dr McDowall discussing Medical Budget. She is most unpractical - one

remark "all London hospitals are in debt" implying that ours could be in debt too.

CJ came to dinner.

Sunday 25th February

Service before breakfast, quite a large congregation, about fifty people including some
Indian sailors.
