Fort, went down to see Snow about his working at Awali. Meeting at Biladya about the Relief
committee, quite unecessary but I got some work done with HH. Discussed the quota business, YK,
Abdulla Said & other matters. Office, saw various people, Abdulla b Hamed re selling his house, Ali
b Khalifah re Shrair case, Hills & one or two more. After tea went to a party, Seyd Said's garden, Sh
S & Daij were there & a lot of Shias & some Arabs. A fruit meal & very nicely done, sat a long time
chatting & really quite enjoyed it. Then to Awali to change books, saw the ols. Late returning,
cooler weather but much damper.
Sunday 30th August
Shaikhe Ayesha had Dr Doeg Mrs VP & Mrs Phillips to dinner.
Dinner with Sh Mubarak, Ali b Ahmed, Haq Dinon & Hallows. A dreary party but excellent mutton.
Mubarak is on bad terms with all the brothers & so had none of them there.
