Fori. Court all the morning, no time to go to the customs, not interesting cases, very hot in the courtroom. —'
Was going to see Leigh but he didnl turn up, he has put in a moan asking lor more pay, quite without ^—

Tuesday 10th July

Didnt go to Fort, Ward P came in & we had a talk about Gray Mackenzie's landing boy & the tyre case. I i
find him pleasant & to the point in business talk. HH without Sh Abdulla, talked Zubara almost the whole
-iiime he was in the office. Still a good breeze & not really very hot. Sh Ibrahim for some time. Customs,

■two young clerks seem to have been stealing money by wangling receipts. In afternoon Sir Arthur Smith ^
failed on HH at the Palace, a tiresome little ginger haired man, I have an aversion for him. He had with him 5^
l pleasanr Brigadier from Basra. Later a party at the Commanders for the general.
