Fort

Spent some time on Appeal Cases with Sh Abdulla, we have now got only one left, that being the Seadi case
- a case.

To Gasari in the afternoon.

Dick Snow & Mylrea came to dinner, a pleasant couple both with plenty to talk about, they stayed quite late.

Thursday 2nd May

Police change over so no parade. A very hot dry day. Brother of Shaikh of Qatar called, a very jungly old
party with a father Christmas beard & no teeth, having just had them all extracted by the dentist here. He
talked politenesses & didnt stay long. Spent some time with Leigh at his office, it is best to go there as I can
get away when I want to, if he comes to me he just stays on. To Budeya & Jidda in the afternoon, took some
extra chairs from those we got from the Army. Very pleasant there & would be so much better if one had
lights.
