Shaikh Muhammad might he met hy the Majlis making a distribution
of his A1 Khalifah property and aiy the distribution so agreed
upon to te recognised hy Shaikh Kamad. In any case,even if an

think on the whole,that a letter to the Shaikh about the

Lehanons or to London. I gather that this idea is an hardy
annual. Of course,in the past he used to go every year to

probably be a good thing when air and oil matters are settled^-
