Fuad referred more than once in con-
-versation to my note of April 28th. 1 gathered that -^in
Saud is perturbed and suspects that attitude of his
Majesty^ Government in regard to this and other matters
may indicate adoption of new general poiicy adverse to
him. he also seems to be anxious to placate us and
Fuad indicated in Jfefixoia general terms endeavours on Mng's
part to discuss amicably question of his eastern boundaries
Fuad obviously had instructions to discuss my note more
expressly but there was no time yesterday and he had to
cancel further interview
/ arranged for to-day owing to indisposition, ^.e is re tum
ping to Mecca.
