Sunday 2nd June
Shs A & S, interviewed Abdulla Said re an article in his paper to which Vlema objected - it
appears to me unreasonable, also discussed mention of women in paper & titles of women,
Sh S very stupid about it - I think his wife put him up to objecting - all apropos of Shaikh

additional area agreement, which has at last come through.
