Had breakfast early & then went to the Palace to a meeting about the building of the Jusma Mosque. Sh
Abdul Latif made a speech about it, he spoke quite well & then we sent round a paper for subscription &
got about Rs5000/- but we want 25,000/-. Stayed on some time discussing the matter & then came back
& went into the court. The people who administer "thirds" have not yet subscribed to the mosque, it is
hoped they will pay big amounts. Played golf with Skrimshire & then to Bridge at Davies. Cole left by
sloop for the Trucial Coast. Last night, almost all through dinner he discussed & argued with Skrimshire
saying that the Bank ought to give him a loan although he is overdrawn - there were other people there
too.
