Mr. Hope Gill to Sir John Simon.—(Received May 9.)

Sir, Jedda, April 27, 1932.
I HAVE the honour to transmit herewith the Jedda report for March, as
well as for January and February. I apologise for its bulk, and for the failure
to render the report bi-monthly as usual, which has been due to the pressure of
current work last month.
2. I am sending copies to Cairo, Jerusalem, Beirut, Damascus, Bagdad,
Basra, Bushire, Koweit, Simla, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Aden. Addis Ababa,
Lagos, Khartum, Port Sudan, the Senior Naval Officer in Red Sea Sloops, and the
Royal Air Force Officer Commanding in Palestine and Transjordan.
I have, &c.
C. G. HOPE GILL.
