One of the Ban! Ahmad uncles. Khalifa, has
suggested to Cochrane that it would be a good idea if
Cochrane were to go and take a look at Salwa, where,
he asserts, Ibn Sa*ud is steadily encroaching on
Qatar. I do not know whether there id any special
reason why he should have raised the matter at this
time, or whether he just profited from the fact that
Cochrane went to see him a few days ago. Cochrane
has asked what we think of the proposal. I said that
he would have to be careful not to get put in the bag,
and he said that if he went he would take some reliable
guides ans see that he stayed well on the safe side of
any line. I said that I would ask you.
2. I have never visited Salwa myself, though
I should like to do so. I had abandoned the idea for
this season though, and was thinking of trying to make
it some time in the winter. Is there any reason why
Cochrane should not have a look around there in the
Summer if he wants to and can arrange it ?
