Very heavy rain at night, the town in a great mess, water lying everywhere. Office, HH didnt come in, he is
still out hunting. Had a talk with Hills & later with Highwood who stayed to lunch. I like him, he knows the
East so very well. He seems pleased with Ahmed Omran & very doubtful about the Egyptians. Saw various
people. Boyce told me that he was being sacked as he had a row with Reid. Drove round in the afternoon &
had a look at the shops & then to Jufair. Rusty went to the island. Sir Henry & Lady Holland to dinner &
Dick Snow - I find Sir HH rather tiresome though his accounts of India especially Kashmir are most
interesting.
