Dear Thomas,
With reference to our conversation two or tiireo
days ago, I write to say that the Secretary of State has now
telegraphed to the Government of India that Fis Fa.iesty 's
aovernment approve the entertainnent of jfls Fjfhncrr.: t; o
Bui tan of Muscat for a period of one nonth duriiif. his visit to
tnis country; and that you woulfl he ready to raeet Eis Bigness
at Marseilles and to acc o ?i -any hiih throuf hoirc . our lcrivo,on
the understanding that you would .receive an . ^tension which,,
It was su ^rested, T ;ould prohchly he of three mcaths or so,on
the conclusion of his visit. " e have alsc put to the Govern
ment of India the proposals as to t^e terms uh.ich are discussed
with you here, ana. 1 will let you know at once as soon as we
hear from them on this. They have ho en askec' to telef:ra : )he& as
soon as possible tne date of Bis Hifnness■ arrival at Marseille
and full particulars of his suite,
ftr
From your confj/ential information, I may adci that
Irt
it now seems prohahle trat, e' en if the Oulta.ii should not a
State f.ues t until after his ope ration, a -i endeavour 1 1ll he
made to arrange an audience nitl; the Kinr very shortly after
his arrival, it would , therefore,he of f.reat assistance if you
could, without inconvenience, draft a 'brief memorandum on the
lines su ^geoted "by Sir Arthur ' "aim en .an in your conversation
with him, which would now he laid "before the Kinr. The memo
randum, Sir Arthur suggests, might ^oll he fin with a "brief
description of the territories ruled over hy the Tultan and
contain remarks on His Tlighness's salient c aract ristics.
Yours r," incerely,
