Resident, Bahrain.
Secretary of Atate for India
Repeated to Foreign, Simla
No.B.2.
Dated 19th May 192^
I received your telegram No.lB44 in t^ood order
I took action last nip;ht with regard to Casaibi, who took
the communication without a word and l.eft immediately
although I had given him until midday today. Although the
communication to Ibn Saud was despatched before receipt
of your telegra/n sanctioning it, I have every confidence
that it entirely corresponds with the directions now
received^ except that I laid down no conditions snd
merely asked before sending the nw agent he woula ascertain
from ri• sr .Govt. that his choice was acceptable to them.
I trust that this leaves us free to communicate conditions
when he applies. There are some indications that Casaibi
will be made a scapegoat.
Official visits with Sheikh Isa have been exchang-
-ed this morning, and serious conversations commence with
interview this afternoon with Sheikhs Hamad and Abdullah,
and tomorrow morning with Sheikh r §a.
