17tn July, 1937.
Dear J/. j ,
Vhen I got up to the aerodrome this
morning I found an adverse weather report and decided
to abandon my visit to Kuwait this weeKend. I am
as yet uncertain as to when I shall be leaving ’Iraq,
but the Air Ministry seem to be quite unsuccessful
in finding a relief for me. I therefore expect to
still be here in septemberand would like very much
to come down to Kuwait during that month and go out
with you to the jieleing fleet.
_£ presume you will go off to India
August and will be back some time early in
September. It would be a convenience to me if
you could let me know the date you intend to go
out to the fleet some time in advance.

things appear to have quietened down
here considerably and the new Minister ol interior
has, for the time being at least, made a temporary
settlement of the Middle ijuphrates trouble. Our
old friends the agitators in Baghdad have been
making a certain amount of capital out of the
Palestine commission's report, anu staged one oi
their usual demonstration days yesterday. we,
however, expect no further trouble on this account
and hope to have a comparatively peaceful summer.
