% dear Fowle,
Many "btlslrikis xot youp private, wipe regapdiij^
the air reconnaissance of Q^uatar. As you will iiave heard,
the air part of the reconnaissance was carried out, but
unfortunately Loch was unable to arrange the testing out
and marking of the proposed landing ground near Doha,
although Group Captain Saul had taken marking material with
him for the purpose, I fear that we have been too late and
I r
that the Shaikh has been overpowered by the American Oil
Company and Ibn Saud. The latter' s prestige, I have no
doubt, has increased of late on account of nis victories
over the Yemen. It certainly appears a great pity to me
'
that we were unable to send out an Intelligence officer to
Quatar with the A.P• 0. C. whe n the ir land re connai ssance was
carried out. We could have obtained practically all the
information we wanted preparatory to drawing up an agreement
of Protection with the Shaikh.
1 do not know what the A.P.O.C. propose to do
with regard to a further reconnaissance, but I suggest that
should a reconnaissance be projected, a B.A.i? 1 . Intelligence
Officer should be allowed to accompany the party, in mufti
if necessary.
I was glad to hear that the land required for
H.M.Gr. in Bahrain had been obtained without much difficulty.
I do not know whether you will be proceeding to
England this hot weather, but if so, I hope that you will
Want-CQlone! T.G. Fowle, C.B.B.
