The enclosed letter to you from Daly is
forwarded. He has authorised me to withhold the
original letter to Peck if I think fit, and I am doing
so.
I don f t think Holmes can come to any harm
without our concurrence, and it seems to me simplest
to do nothing, unless v>/e are compelled to defend him.
I wonder how Mrs. More and yourself are in
health. Better, I hope, than the last we heard when
you had fever and Mrs. More a boil. The remedy I
recommend for the latter is ’’sulphide of Calcium” sold
in tabloids by Burroughs & Welcome. It is wonderful.
I recently had occasion to try to find out
what Bin Baud was doing in February. We had heard
that he reached Hasa on 15th January, but had no inform-
-ation of his departure. You will remember that he
was reported from Egypt to be dead in March.
I wired to Baljr and he replied ’’Left Hasa on
February 25th”.

If you could assist us in getting his itin^ry
more exactly for this year, and the explanation of the
false rumour I shall be obliged.
Last week I phoned to the Treasury Officer here
to remit you the balance of stamps for Cazalet. I
hope the remittance was all right,
the post.
