1945

At Jidda, spent a pleasant lazy day doing nothing in particular. Wrote a few letters.

Saturday 25th August

Returned early before breakfast. A good breeze & tide with us.

Went to see HH in the afternoon, found him in good form.

In the afternoon I got onto the witness in the Jufair case, through Marsh, & had him sent in, a fat young S
African called Basson. Had nearly two hours with him in my office, first he made a long mostly untrue
statement to fit in with the other false evidence & then he came clean & told the truth which was all as we
know.

Played bridge the fourth being Macmillan, quite a pleasant evening but very hot at times as they sat in the AC
room and every half hour the AC was turned off.
