HH came in. Went to the Agency, when he came back he saw Leigh about his new electric engine for Rafaa -
& also discussed the Hassa plan which has now been put into Arabic - a great nuisance too. —

Had a long talk with one of the Egyptian teachers who has been tiresome, I rather liked him, however &
decided to give him another chance having first meant to sack him. Cocktail party at the Lloyd Moores, not
very amusing, talked for some time to Pelly.

Sunday 15th December

Had another interview with Mr Agar who agrees to our suggestion about royalty.

Went over to see Galloway about the cotton mill affair - he seemed very vague about that & everything else, ^2
seems to take little interest in things which leads me to suppose he is going. ^

Went round to Kozaibir garden with M Khube, Hassan was there & being rather tiresome, he has really got a
very good bargain.
