MEMORANDUM,
Reference ay letter Mo, i4-S dated the r^th January 192
Owin& to the recrudescence of r.iidin& in the desert I
have not been able to leave here to visit Baghdad as I had
hoped to do, and I think there is no chance of my oeln^, abl<
to &et away at all this spring for anything but a very rapic
visit. As a matter of fact, I had written a demi official
letter to the Resident this morning before I heard that he
was going to Delhi, suggesting that he might ask the Air
Officer Commanding, Baghdad, If I could be given a seat In a
aeroplane to Baghdad l iter on when there is a lull in the
raiding if there be room in one. Now, however, I shall not
be able to go at any rate until after the Resident’s return.
I asked Flight Lieutenant Revington, who piloted a
seaplane here the other day and is o^ing to be in the flying
bo^ts, ii he could tell me what type of man was required, du
he had. not heard of the question. He seemed to think that it
was not a matter of any urgency.
I merely tell you the above in order to explain why I
cannot answer your letter Mo. 3-S of 13 th January 1929 .
