Sunday 12th May
Calls on GP in the morning, HH very frigid but GP himself didnt seem to try to be pleasant. At the Palace
HH complained that GP never made any enquiries either about his health, the family or how things were in
Bahrain. Usual return call at Palace. Saw various people in the office, Ahmed Omran about schools, M
Saleh about the municipal elections, Husein Haama, a sly fellow and Mansoor & Seyd Said about a loan
from the Minors Dept. They wanted 2 lakhs for 2 years at lower interest than what is normally allowed.
Great difficulty in getting any Shias to stand for municipal elections. Drove to Send Point. GP came across
in the evening, he was quite amicable.
