Shaikhs came in, HH stayed until after 1.30. Had a very tiresome morning, Zubara as usual for a long time
and then a trying time about his own money affairs, he has begun to complain that he must have more money
from the State because the revenue is higher than it used to be, we had to lend him 2 lakhs at the end of the
year & he declines to pay this amount.
Wednesday 5th February
Fort.
Spent most of the morning taking Hay round schools, we started at Hedd & then Muharraq, going through
each school & seeing every class at work, then one of the Manama Primary Schools, the Secondary Schools,
hostel & Tech School. He didnt have much to say about them. Took him back to Jufair at about 12.30, quite
a busy morning.
Drove out as usual in the afternoon, went to the new garden.
