Dinner with the Russell Browns, the Biggars & Bells also there a pleasant evening, sat outside.
Tuesday 14th October
Rode.
Shaikhs came in as usual. Talk about school affairs & a most astonishing letter which we got from Wakelin.
HH is very strong about him, both he & Abdulla seem to dislike him quite violently owing to the silly
propoganda which he is trying to put over against the Bahrain Govt. HH told us of his interesting
conversation with Sh Ahmed who told him all about his contact with Jinnah. Sh A seems to have been very
political.
Leigh came in, I fear he is losing grip of affairs, some of his proposals are quite idiotic. Nesmith came to call
bringing one of his visiting big noises, a pleasant man who was amusing about I.P.C wires.
M starting a boil on her nose.
The Parkers & various other people came to call, the new ALO seems pleasant but is I fancy partly
Levantine.
