Eollowing has been received at Aleppo from General Headquarters*
Egyptian Expeditionary Force. Begins: It is considered by Commander-in-
Clrief to be of extreme importance that advantage be taken of your visit to
hold a conference with High Commissioner, Cairo, and arrive at .agreement on
certain questions. This will entail your coming here and proceeding to Cairo*
but should not unduly prolong your visit. Subject of discussion is situations
between Bin Baud and King Hussein, which has again become acute. Ends.
My reply was as follows : “ Affairs at Baghdad necessitate that I should
return there to-day and subject to concurrence of General Officer ^Commanding-
in-Chief, Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, and of His Majesty’s Government
to whom your telegram and my reply are being repeated by me, I snail be glad
to go to Cairo for proposed conference if Chief still considered conference
necessary. To save time I should prefer to go by air all the way and I "will
endeavour to arrange this.”
General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Mesopotamia, concurs. Is proposed
conference approved by you ? If so, I shall leave for Cairo on February 2oth
via Damascus arriving Cairo 26tb evening.
