Would ou please refer to Dickson's letter Uo. C-136
of 12th April, 1234, to the Political Hesident about the
Koweit-Hejd frontier which was enclosed in Bowie's despatch
443 S'of 5th May of which we sent you a copy with our
printed letter Ho. P.2.3300/34 of 18th May? The point
raised hy Dickson regarding the description ox the "ohaq"
depression in the English text of the Koweit Boundary
Convention of 1932 as "a low mountainous ridge" is of interest
and nay be of some importance. If the mistake occurs m the
Arabic which is, we understand, the authentic text it mi^ht
no doubt be difficult to correct it a* tnis stage, but it
is possible that it is merely an error in translation. In
any case you may think it as well to have the point checked
in the Arabic text, a copy of which was sent to the Colonial
Office/
,Rendel,Esq.,CMG.,
Foreign Office.
