Wrote letters in morning. I had thought of going to pearl banks but rather windy, bara still blowing, after a
few hot still days it has started again. Cable from Simla re house. Bathed Sanyab. Went to "Garden of
Allah" town cinema, Marlene & Charles Boyer, very good indeed though an old film & sound rather faint.

Saturday 8th July

Fort. Issued an order that Police are not to wear puttoes in the summer months - I hope this will prevent so
many sore feet & legs, they are prevalent in the hot weather. Very busy arranging for HH's trip to Simla, sent
a lot of cables & letters, it takes time to fix up everything. Saw Abdulla bin Jabr about arrangements also
Abdulla bin Hamed who is to go with the party. Saw Jones for about an hour about various matters - less full
of complaints than usual. Went to see Dame p.m. he is very worried about a sore which HH has on his hand
which he says is diabetic & Jones seems to regard it as nothing of importance.
