Came back from Jidda in morning, called on Grant but Reid had gone, the latter had arranged for M's passage
to Beirut & to Marseilles. HH came, also Sh M who is off to Cairo & as usual worrying about finance. HH
rather mean about it but said, quite rightly, if Sh M had twice his income he would always be in debt, he gave ii
him a passage to Cairo but refused to give return from Cairo. He discussed Pelly saying he was not as bad as
he used to be. Earlier I went to see Hay who was off for 14 days trip, he told me Mrs Kendall is Pelly's sister
hence Pelly wont have any dealings with any Kendall matters. Pelly & a nice French writer came to lunch - a
really excellent lunch with caviare. Gardened & then drove to Muharraq. Lovely weather. Called on the
Smiths later on. Meikle offered M passage on Strech boat, but too early. M went to see Packer.
