Wednesday 27th February

Quite a cold day. strong shamaal. Orderly Room at the Fort but nothing very serious. Spent most of the
morning with Sh Abdulla, first had Ahmed Omran for a long talk about school affairs & then tackled some
appeal cases, finished the whole lot bar one very big one. He certainly gets down to it. Saw Cochrane and at
about 2 pm Leigh came in. He simply has no idea of time. Drove up to have a look at the Race Course &
hen had a meeting of the Race Club Committee to discuss the race meeting which is to be run by the club,
he assistant from the bank is on the committee, rather an awful little man Scotch, common & talkative. No
r of him being taken up by any of the local ladies.
