Dear Sir Rupert,
16th June, 1948
In reply to your telegram of the 5th June^ addressed
to Beavan and concei*ning Shaikh Khalifah^ we cabled you on the
11th June as followss-
"Welcome Shaikh Khalifah*& visit can arrange six
weeks programme early July confirm arrival date
earliest 0 <t .
^ w e have now received your letter of the 5th June
(Ko« 927—S) enclosing his Proposal JForm, and are working on
his programme. We should like to confirm that the British
Council will pay his expenses up to £150, to cover accommodat
ion, rail travel in the U»K», and motor transport as necessary*
The dates given in our cable do not ex*ctly
coincide wity your proposal, but they are the only ones which
allow us time to arrange a suitable programme> as mid—June
would be a little too early for his arrival. It is essential,
on the other hand, that he should complete the Judicial part
of his programme by the end of July, when the courts go into
recess. We very much welcome your proposal in principle,
and trust that the slight postponement of the visit will
not be untoward#
Yours sincerely,
H.A.P. Radleyt
for Director, Visitors Department.
