SONO QUI
Tuesday 28th March
Fort. Went over to Agency with Sh Abdulla who takes his wife to Baghdad tomorrow, talk re BS & various
matters. Letter from FH re re-opening oil talks about the waters, replied not at present, stayed on at the
Agency. Struggling with annual report.
Mhq in afternoon to see the sea road & Sh Khalifah bin Mohd's house.
Cocktail party at Mernnells, rather a gloomy affair. Dinner party at Sh Sulmans, we went all over the house
& onto the roof, a most attractive building, arab style, four towers at corners & what must in daytime be a
most magnificient view, he says he sees Qattar.
Weightmans came in to play Bridge afterwards, but she so sleepy that they left early. Nice day.
Wednesday 29th March
Rode on parade, the mare still a little lame.
Usual tennis & Bridge.
