Meeting at Agency to discuss a "fighter fund" also poppy day & various
other business. The FF for the whole Gulf, I dont think Persia will be
in the least interested & I dont think it should be started over there.

Rode with Geoffrey before breakfast.

Cinema , quite an amusing film.

By launch to E ireh & then Jedda taking M & J & Geoffrey. J behaved
abominably & was naughty all day. Pleasant outing, bathed at .
Walked about & looked at the gazelle & at the prisoners etc at Jeda. One
Paul Ensor called, P.C.L. friend of Richard's, quite a nice fellow.

Saturday 9th November

Sh Sulman & I went to Agency to discuss an aeroplane fund which they want
to start. I don't fancy it will yield a great deal. Various people came
in. Went up to Jufair to congratulate SNO on becoming a Commodore.

Gardened PM, went out to Budega & put in seeds, saw Cornwall on the way,
he had found some tombs & a skull which was what he wanted.

all medical staff.
