Anyway I expect Father and I 1923 2397 me last week why I did not have a new edition of Amurath 1923 3124 writing to Sir F. Macmillan about Amurath - thank you for that too 1923 2934 mine is the only record. So I'll telegraph "Amurath writing" and then 1923 2923 negotiations about Amurath.

I asked one of the French 1923 2821 fountain in full Arab dress, the white and gold of the Mecca princes 1923 948 begins next week and with it Arab festivities will cease. I'm writing 1923 3045 decorated with Arab flags and palm fronds. Very nice it was. I 1923 2198 been much taken up with engagements among my Arab friends 1923 2151 member of the great Arab house of the Sa'dun, was a deputy in the 1923 1160 officers, Arab ministers, notables etc. I'm great friends with 1923 246 Arab officers to support the 'Iraq cavalry which are 1923 388 leader of the Arab peoples that he'll jump at it, to the fury of 1923 1284 They will be overtaken some day by the Arab question 1923 2173 raiding. He played a notably gallant part in the Arab revolt. So I 1923 3181 hear from Ken the Arab side of the show. It was most successful and I 1923 425 into any Arab society, Royal or other, because they are all so 1923 1156 garden (Arab style, we all sat on the ground and eat sour 1923 3030 speech about the hope of Arab union resting in the King and his family 1923 1948 Arab world and on the terms I'm on with it, but I 1923 808 to see the waters. I found some officers of the Arab Army in need 1923 1650 On Saturday I rode out to see the Arab Army play polo - Mr Thomson 1923 3134 On Saturday afternoon I rode out to see the Arab Army polo - Zaid 1923 582 with assurances of loyalty. The fact is that the Arab Govt has lacked 1923 3305 Administrative Inspector (Capt Flaxman) and the Arab Inspector of 1923 3513 Of the Arab Ministers only Ja'far and Nuri have orders, yes 1923 1234 including the two Arab Ministers who had attended, very much cast down 1923 277 an Arab State. If we fail it's little consolation to me 1923 717 indeed, to a crowded audience, English and Arab. We couldn't attempt 1923 1167 Ladies, English and Arab, at tea, Lady Cox read out a speech (which I 1923 1518 talking about Faisal's visit and Ibn Sa'ud and Arabian boundaries till 1923 1168 for her I need not say) and I made a speech in Arabic 1923 709 tables and neatly ticketed them in English and Arabic 1923 2459 Turk, scarcely speaking Arabic - announced that he was coming as 1923 2144 talk Arabic - Muhsin's wife talks none but his sister in law 1923 355 occasions.

Few 1923 2390 Arabic that I could scarcely read it 1923 422 Arabic till he has to drop into English when I help him 1923 1886 in law talks a little Arabic. Pleasant, fat ladies; they don't like 1923 644 Arabic, was talking hard to Haji Naji, grammar in hand 1923 2219 scarcely any Arabic, while Hamdi talks Arabic and English; the 1923 823 an archaeological journey into Persia. Lots of Arabs 1923 2005 with the Arabs and if our officers don't intervene, they 1923 1670 Hon-ri the Arabs call him 1923 3295 the Arabs carrying me when the water got deep. He made a 1923 1666 Arabs find him so affable. He has them to dinner a 1923 1061 going to let the Arabs make their own arrangements there with the 1923 1987 Assyrian question. The Arabs of Mosul have been making a terrific 1923 431 Arabs run before they can walk which is, I think, the 1923 273 be) and or if we withdraw and left the Arabs to defend themselves, he 1923 434 don't matter and yet rub the Arabs up the wrong way terribly. And 1923 1563 very cordial and after the two Arabs went we three sat and talked - 1923 385 Arabs which he regards, and rightly, as a cleverly 1923 718 a translation but most of the Arabs who came were the younger men who 1923 1066 Arabs. The Cabinet decision is we hear going to be for 1923 2003 little Arabs, a point I'm constantly bringing to Sir Henry's 1923 1998 between the Assyrians and the Arabs, mainly I think due to the 1923 2340 Arbil - you remember him? Ahmad Eff, a capital man 1923 2452 Finally on Monday I had the Mutasarrif of Arbil and the Mayor of 1923 593 Mosul outskirts and Arbil were in his hand, I would let Zaid tackle 1923 2462 accepted a request from the people of Arbil which the Mutasarrif had 1923 817 flown up to Arbil, came in on Monday to tell me the news - he had 1923 769 with success. I've made a protest to the Joint Archaeological 1923 874 job for us (Archaeological Dept). Sir Percy had him to lunch and 1923 1367 deep in Ariel which is delightful. After that I can get books 1923 703 up on Thursday and we've had great doings - the Army 1923 1177 you send us some fashion papers and also ask the Army 1923 1161 'Iraq Army and talked to all the officers after lunch, as 1923 702 It's very useful having the 'Iraq Army at one's beck and call 1923 808 the waters. I found some officers of the Arab Army in need 1923 934 at 12.30 an enormous lunch given by the 'Iraq Army in the 1923 698 'Iraq Army is on L. of c. at Sharqat and a part of the 1923 1650 On Saturday I rode out to see the Arab Army play polo - Mr Thomson 1923 3134 On Saturday afternoon I rode out to see the Arab Army polo - Zaid 1923 2627 Major Maclean is on the 'Iraq Army staff and has now come to Baghdad - 1923 244 we've got, the 'Iraq Army take over lines of communication and 1923 247 direction. If the Turks don't send down another Army Corps or 1923 1158 'Iraq Army.

No one knows how the Constituent Assembly will 1923 1690 Assembly I hear 1923 2047 electors, they will swamp the Assembly. On the whole I think the 1923 1834 easy thing to lay before the Constituent Assembly.

We shot back to Kifl where we arrived a little before sunset and 1923 1915 lunched at Kadhimain with the Kiliddar (keeper of the treasure key) a 1923 747 The next thing is how to replace the rogue.

The King 1923 962 Meantime the King (this is very secret) has been trying to get 1923 3162 anything. I dined at the Residency to meet the King - a 1923 2814 King - but he naturally wished to please - that there 1923 3546 might also give one to the King - or would you like to?

I've seen the King and on a separate page you'll find the 1923 1632 all I should have had to dine with the King and sit under a punkah all 1923 810 and then I met the King and stopped and talked to him so the net 1923 2184 with it. It will now have to be shown to the King and the 1923 2897 dear Zaid for the King and the A.M. and all the British units and the 1923 2062 confidence of the King and the Cabinet. He is staying with Ken and 1923 64 tact to the King and the Minister of Interior that they are now 1923 1162 all the Ministers, after which I sat by the King and watched the 1923 420 side of the King and I on the other and I must say that it was 1923 1153 between the King and Mr Cornwallis or me, a nd between such men 1923 579 powerful lot of races here - where I met the King and Zaid, the latter 1923 2149 Mosul.

But the King cut him short 1923 2302 It will do a world of good. Also the King found that 1923 417 On Monday the King had a dinner party for Sir Henry - Col. Slater 1923 1873 Palace - the King had a tennis party - and on Friday I went again 1923 2543 dusk after the King had gone there was a tatoo, bagpipes, pipes and 1923 1560 King had sent an ADC in the morning and I made so 1923 2506 coincides with a cabinet crisis of our own. The King has finally 1923 3204 prodigiously amusing but the King has no wish to meet his father and 1923 533 Muhsin Bey, the King if very fond of him and we all have complete 1923 3508 and all my orders. The King in dark blue uniform with the Hijaz star 1923 738 I've just been to tea with the King in his garden and a very cheerful 1923 1144 a very merry dinner I told the King in the clearest terms how very 1923 3053 December 13.

The King provided 1923 3025 carpets spread beneath, where the King received all the notables and 1923 713 King round and explained to him what the things were 1923 825 beginning to come back. The King sent his chief Chamberlain and my 1923 2169 the King so I went up and aksed him himself. He raised 1923 2736 notables of Baghdad and Kadhimain, waited on the King the 1923 2835 secular stripe. Nuri was trying to persuade the King to recapture Jof 1923 1959 light in hand.

He hahad 1923 2570 Monday I rode out to see the Arab army polo. The King was there 1923 957 as it may sound, I believe if he and I and the King were 1923 2836 for him, held now by Ibn Sa'ud.

After which I went to tea with the King who was 1923 3009 are to be stopped - and the otehr half with the King who was in 1923 975 but it's a very serious decision. If only the King would have left 1923 3205 won't go - unless King Husain insists, in which case I've stipulated 1923 389 Sa'ud, Palestine and Syria, where King Husain is not esteemed.

The old rogue is going to pay a visit to 1923 3526 which as we anticipated, hasn't come to much, King Husain, the old 1923 3288 there once, perhaps you'll remember, with the King. But the 1923 3166 between him and the King. H.M. was in great spirits and his best 1923 1798 Defence. He is very loyal both to us and to the King.

The net result is that 1923 2148 dinner Muhsin Bey, whom I love, Naji and I had a long talk about 1922 2486 a good deal of Naji and I hope he feels that he has considerable and 1922 780 I hadn't warned Haji Naji beforehand and he unfortunately wasn't there 1922 3158 walled summer house. Haji Naji caleld the servants and one of his 1922 795 helping him but I think Haji Naji could give him as good advice as 1923 2206 that Haji Naji dropped in to breakfast to announce the 1923 642 are in flower and found Haji Naji entertaining the Residency party who 1923 1074 Haji Naji gave a luncheon party in his garden last Sunday 1922 3585 pruning tool for Haji Naji has arrived and I am going to send it down 1923 2149 Mosul.

It was amusing, only 1922 3523 Muhsin in at an early hour, with Naji Suwaidi, and told them the line 1922 5538 out of the Turk. As for Naji Suwaidi, he came to me the other day and 1922 1576 Naji Suwaidi, most reasonable about the whole matter 1922 5410 request, on Sunday 15th to meet Ja'far, Naji Suwaidi, Husain Afnan and 1923 2583 Sasun, Yasin and Naji.

We had a luncheon party also in Haji Naji's 1923 536 and found the first apricots in flower in Haji Naji's garden 1923 728 Naji's garden on sunday 10th. I invited most of the 1922 783 trees. One of Haji Naji's sons was there and said he would send him 1923 1077 function and Haji Naji's sorrow at parting with Sir Percy goes to my 1923 2145 pretty daughter have learnt some.

The Minister is ex-Qadhi of 1922 5884 bare hillside before you get into the town. Mr Nalder's 1922 6058 his office (Mr Nalder's house) and held his hand for a little, after 1922 1018 I think combination will not be possible. The Naqib 1922 3626 but at 4.30 I sallied forth and visited all the Naqib 1922 2667 After the Tuesday meeting the Naqib accepted Ja'far's resignation 1923 2389 Naqib al Ashraf of Baghdad 'Abdul Rahman. (It's in 1922 2033 eldest son of the Naqib and any one else whom I thought he ought to 1922 5670 the Naqib and of the moderate party which has been formed 1922 1005 sound the Naqib and see if they could get anything else going on 1922 3764 whereupon the Cabinet, with the exception of the Naqib and the 1922 5638 Naqib and the Ministers mad me affectionately welcome 1922 3779 the exception of the Naqib and the Minister of Auquf." He replied 1922 99 the eldest son of the Naqib and Haddad Pasha. No one else was there 1922 1650 laid round it. We sat down on low chairs, the Naqib and I, Saiyid 1922 868 that it is a nest of heretics. The King and the Naqib are equally 1922 2299 the mandate isn't alluded to in the treaty) The Naqib asked Ja'far 1922 3624 Naqib at 6.15 on my way to the office and found the 1922 2925 system, they may, but the Naqib doesn't fancy the idea as it 1922 5053 what a fine day it was, when the Naqib embarked on an impressive 1922 1387 benefit of the Library. The King and the Naqib family were 1922 3590 arrangements with the King and the Naqib for private audiences, and 1923 2891 music for once, especially as the Naqib has a special veneration for 1922 6147 was partly prepared by letter. The Naqib has at length resigned, and 1922 1739 hasn't! the Naqib has done nothing) There's another thing I'm busy 1922 966 Oh and I must tell you (in private) that the Naqib has dug in his toes 1922 2910 You see the position is this: the King and the Naqib have proclaimed 1922 2631 townsmen - Shi'ahs - visited the Naqib in relays and warned him of the 1922 5045 This afternoon the Naqib invited me to be present when he received the 1922 2314 Husain Afnan says he thinks the Naqib is absolutely incapable of 1922 1646 fast. The Naqib isn't fasting but he observes Ramadhan in so far 1922 5271 ought to have been signed yesterday but the Naqib jibbed 1922 869 indignant at the agitation. The Naqib loathes the superstition of the 1922 5304 last Sir Percy said "What about the treaty?" The Naqib looked 1922 2548 done his level best to persuade the Naqib not to wander off into that 1922 3598 Aug 3. I paid my 'Id visit to the Naqib on the way to the office. He 1922 1738 the Naqib on to invite him; I hope it will prove a good 1922 4653 I went to see the Naqib on Monday. He sent you many messages, but the 1922 5671 and he wasnt by hook or by crook to get the Naqib out and 1922 4015 King who, in his heart longs to see the Naqib out, said that would not 1922 5639 performance, a Cabinet meeting in 'Iraq. The Naqib reclines on 1922 5050 Haidar, read it out, the Naqib replied in suitable terms, Mr C and I 1922 2654 privately to the Naqib telling him to delay in accepting Ja'far's 1922 5314 English. The Naqib then resigned himself and signed both copies. He 1922 4595 had done, and promised that he would ask the Naqib to 1922 1657 further, for they are all waiting for the Naqib to give them a lead 1922 5647 of a very important letter addressed by the Naqib to Ministers, urging 1923 1577 gaiety! I went to the Naqib today. He seemed very well and was 1922 1642 The Naqib was very bobbish. Full of talk of you and most 1922 1015 he and Fakhri were deep in consultation with the Naqib who 1922 1926 spend it in paying visits. I went early to the Naqib whom I found 1922 3768 attention. Ont thing is I think certain - the Naqib will 1922 5301 the Naqib with his head bound up (he has been having 1922 5307 "What!" cried the Naqib. "What is this? I can't sign this - I don't 1922 4816 Mr Cornwallis showed it to him and to the Naqib. Both 1922 5065 Naqib. Heaven help us 1922 5311 for it - I don't understand it." replied the Naqib. Sir 1922 974 to go against the expressed opinion of the Naqib. So that 1922 6162 Naqib!

The Naqib, very properly, gave 1922 5057 Naqib, we all took our departure, leaving him in the 1922 4742 Din, second son of the Naqib, Yasin Pasha, Saiyid Husain Afnan, and 1922 1054 they will come forward boldly and also that the Naqib's 1922 616 been in an entertainment in an Arab house. The Naqib's 1922 2531 me to spend the morning on Tuesday in the Naqib's 1922 1601 came to dinner, and we talked of Syria and the Naqib's 1922 3272 the Qadhi of Baghdad, Saiyid Muhi ul Din (the Naqib's 1923 2882 Naqib's brother, but I took the precaution of sending 1922 6582 It's a very different Cabinet than it was in the Naqib's day, much 1922 5129 Naqib's eldest son and the King ten minutes outside 1922 4024 under the presidency of the Naqib's eldest son, could scarcely survive 1922 3105 Mahmud, the Naqib's eldest son, Fakhri Jamil, and 'Abdul Majid Shawi 1922 5318 of the Naqib's eldest son, Saiyid Mahmud) and telling them they 1923 2874 comi-incident. We had asked Saiyid Mahmud, the Naqib's eldest son, to 1923 1591 the Naqib's eldest son, took offence at some rather curt 1922 1929 and brothers of the Naqib's family. By that tiem I was due to meet 1922 1811 or five little girls of the Naqib's family. We could open half a 1922 3338 respectable young Saiyids of the Naqib's family, equally respectable 1922 611 big luncheon party in the Naqib's garden down river. We went there 1922 1247 in the Naqib's garden, and he dined with me one night to meet 1922 5298 Commissioner motoring in the direction of the Naqib's house, all in 1923 2276 if he doesn't like it. Here's the Naqib's letter of thanks which I 1922 5695 H.M.'s book because he regards the right as the Naqib's men, not his 1923 2804 his return. I had Saiyid Muhi al Din, the Naqib's second 1923 452 absence; my guests were Saiyid Muhi al Din (the Naqib's second son) 1923 1901 Naqib's son, invited Mr Thomson, Ken and me to dine in 1922 1651 Husain and Saiyid 'Abdullah, one of the Naqib's younger sons, and were 1922 5687 King's Party and a Naqib's Party, the most fatal occurrence.

He ....... the idea of complete Syr 1922 2180 posed as a Nationalist. H.M. had put off giving him an answer till 1922 1626 1919 where he was a very violent Nationalist. He became much more 1922 5898 Nationalists (ie the extremists) want some sign to show t 1922 3185 them in life. He had seen many of the Nationalists in Syria 1922 4640 from the Greek front, neither we nor all the Nationalists put 1922 4170 delighted were Nuri and Ja'far, those ardent Nationalists. In point 1923 2885 were both coming what's more. And, related the Nawab, "Fard 1923 2882 but I took the precaution of sending the Nawab, our 1922 539 Nebuchadnezzar has yet been noted there.

This is all the country 1923 3167 mood. The Joyces, Bourdillons, Ken, Nigel and Ja'far and the ADCs 1923 3286 joined Nigel and Zaid at the Maude Bridge and motored to 1923 2355 Nigel are also coming 1923 3321 car broke down and Zaid had to give him a lift.

It was very agreeable and Major Noel 1923 651 Monday I had a dinner party - Mrs Bovill, Major Noel and the 1922 6134 mercy he has recovered. Mr Edmonds and Major Noel are to accompany S 1922 5213 Finally they sent Major Noel down with a petition to HE in which they 1922 5207 one of Shaikh Mahmud's relations. Major Noel explained. "But that's 1922 5179 Major Noel from Sulaimani. He motored and flew down on the 1922 5220 Major Noel is the kind of person who has native servants of 1922 5190 Major Noel lunched with me yesterday and returned to 1922 5767 Major Noel their views are quite reasonable - not that he 1922 4918 course, heaven sent that Major Noel who as his advisor during our 1922 4630 Shaikh Mahmud has arrived at Baghdad and Major Noel who has 1922 4548 officer would be Major Noel. It would be almost impossible for Major 1922 4943 Noel, five Kurdish officers from the 'Iraq Army and a 1922 4950 Noel, for whom Sh. M. has begged, nor any other 1922 5199 said Major Noel, pulling out of his pocket a crescent disk of 1922 4413 stable. The rot hasn't gone any further. Major Noel, the Political 1922 4550 and you want some daredevil like Major Noel, who is almost a Kurk 1922 5288 lease of some date gardens just outside the North Gate, built a little 1922 3311 Bary. I read two perfectly mad articles of Lord Northcliffe's in the 1923 999 of the Northumberland Charltons and a charming person, keenly 1923 1851 could you tell me anything about a firm called Norton 1922 5894 More specially as almost without exception the Notables here are 1922 1882 impressed and interested by your talk with Faris Numi. It all helps 1922 1886 the Congreves and the Allenbys and all. After Numi, or with him 1923 3495 Marie?" said I. "C'est une partie de chasse." "Nur al Din 1923 3497 Nur al Din is Ken's Sudanese servant - I hope he was 1922 5559 his posthumous son. That son, Nur al Din, is now a delicious creature 1922 4030 came out bathing and picnicking with us. I asked Nuri 1922 2741 I could no longer have any relations with him. Nuri 1922 3684 telephoned to ask if he might come to lunch - Nuri 1923 1793 Ken, Mr Drower and I, with Sabih Bey, Yasin and Nuri 1923 2687 who is loafering about Baghdad) Nuri al Sha'lan who is Fahad Bey's 1923 2823 the great chiefs of the desert. Nuri al Sha'lan, grim and scowling 1922 1959 the office next day. I wanted to get hold of Nuri and hear the true 1923 2177 On Thursday I had Nuri and his wife, Ja'far (she couldn't come) and 1922 2771 Nuri and make him rub in all my accusations 1922 1635 distant; then as the talk developed between Nuri and me he took more 1922 1954 Nuri and uncertain of the King's attitude. At 5 Mr 1922 5286 Davidson, Mr Cooke, Capt. Clayton and I, with Nuri and Amin Raihani 1922 2985 On Sunday 8th I had Nuri and Capt Clayton to lunch and a really good 1922 3725 with Nuri and Capt Clayton discussed the scheme for 1922 5245 Nuri and I laid the scheme before him. He jumped at 1922 3689 uninvited. Nuri and Ja'far were there and Capt. Clayton. He 1922 4170 delighted were Nuri and Ja'far, those ardent Nationalists. In point 1922 1670 called on Nuri and Ja'far's families on the way home and was 1922 4038 for a couple of hours after dinner while he and Nuri and Mr 1922 4469 generals - Ja'far, Nuri and Yasin - but I stayed on for a long time 1922 5569 bidding me to dinner. Ja'far, Nuri and Zaid were the party. We had a 1922 4062 eve of the coronation, Ja'far and Nuri being nearly off their heads 1922 1962 Nuri being the other guest. I accepted with 1922 5576 Nuri brought me home and confided to me the secrets 1922 3693 pressed me to stay to dinner with Ja'far and Nuri but with great 1922 3334 however, very mixed. Nuri came and played Bridge and in the garden 1923 2840 passport or your sword and lance?" Nuri couldn't meet him; his face 1922 5233 Capt Clayton and I have had great meetings - Nuri has also just 1923 3513 Of the Arab Ministers only Ja'far and Nuri have orders, yes, and 'Ali 1922 3970 one has intimate Arab friends. Nuri is a very exceptional creature 1922 365 King and his head police officer! Nuri is doing very well and all the 1922 912 just moving - Nuri is Ja'far's brother in law. Ja'far was there too 1922 458 Baghdad was also de service. As Nuri observed they had a great 1922 3495 Nuri offered to leave the 'Iraq tomorrow if I thought 1923 1986 and Rauf. I had a heart to heart talk wiht Nuri on the 1922 2982 game of Bridge - that's when Ja'far, Nuri or Naji Suwaidi come, for 1923 2604 them good. Nuri remains in Defence and one 'Ali Jaudat, whom I 1922 3976 Clayton and me, everyone holds Nuri to be an imp of mischief 1922 1964 Incidentally Nuri told us the whole story of Sunday and Monday - I 1922 2055 Nuri was riding an enchanting Arab mare and was much 1923 2835 secular stripe. Nuri was trying to persuade the King to recapture Jof 1922 2050 told him all I thought about the situation. Nuri was very comforting 1922 454 night to meet Capt Clayton and Mr Thomson. Nuri was very full of the 1922 3697 to stay because I already knew that Ja'far and Nuri were 1922 4002 Nuri who had told him that he had lost the confidence 1922 2817 and Nuri with their wives, Sata'Bey (in the Education 1922 453 February 2.

He is 1922 2739 at the Palace. In the evening I happened to see Nuri Pasha 1922 1048 on their own lines. I'm now expecting (a) Nuri Pasha (b) Fakhri and 1923 1142 request, Nuri Pasha (whom I deeply love though he is an 1923 1154 Nuri Pasha and me or Capt Clayton, nothing can go 1923 410 rather depleted.

Capt Clayton, Nuri Pasha and I hatched out at a 1922 2049 This morning I rode with Nuri Pasha at dawn and on the way to Karradah 1922 1945 it, some said Nuri Pasha had taken the lead - in short the town was 1922 2523 empty town, meeting Nuri Pasha half way, for the King had told us to 1922 911 way home. I found them all in a house into which Nuri Pasha is 1922 3489 Nuri Pasha seemed to have been at the bottom of this 1923 1679 I had Nuri Pasha to lunch. He is one of my best friends 1923 603 25th Mr Davidson and I dined with Mr Cornwallis; Nuri Pasha was 1922 838 there was a wild scuffle to follow the King, but Nuri Pasha with his 1922 5535 but I (being the confidant of Nuri Pasha) know that the man they rely 1922 2506 and Nuri Pasha, loves it and really plays quite well 1922 3965 Red Crescent - i.e. to the Turkish war chest. Nuri Pasha, who ws 1922 1622 Nuri Sa'id had been to call the day I was with the 1922 18 on Saturday which was cheerful, and Nuri Sa'id on Xmas Day, after 1922 355 After I had been with him a bit Nuri Said, who has just been appointed 1923 2180 Nuri. I had worked 8 solid hours that day on a 1922 3500 really love as I love Nuri. The son of a Baghdad attorney, how did he 1922 853 Turks - and 'Abdul Latif Nuri, a member of the 'Iraq Army General 1922 462 'ulama studiously held aloof. Nuri, as an enlightened Sunni (probably 1923 2837 Nuri, for he follows any hand that pays him, was 1923 1985 night with Ja'far Pasha, the other guests being Nuri, his wife and 1922 3699 with a final warning to Nuri, Capt Clayton and I departed 1922 5233 Nuri, Capt Clayton and I have had great meetings - 1923 2725 Nuri, Defence, Haji Muhsin Shalash, a Shi'ah banker 1923 3227 available Mmes Nuri, Ja'far, 'Ali Jaudat (she's a charming woman and 1922 5382 Ja'far at his farmhouse.

Nice 1922 6353 the same time the P.M. is not an Oriental for nothing and I fancy he 1923 198 perverse Oriental habit of early waking, so I think I'll go to bed 1923 3559 teach in the School of Oriental Languages.

And also 1922 560 educated at Oxford there was no difference whatever in our points 1923 301 I've had to tackle the Oxford University expedition to Kish - I was 1923 766 is being dug by Oxford University. They've sent out a man called 1922 4667 him in Damascus in 1919 he was dying to go to Oxford.

He is in bad odour at the Palace 1922 2503 and after tea I drove back with them to the Palace 1922 1310 very smart, I assure you, when I dine at the Palace 1923 1873 Palace - the King had a tennis party - and on Friday I 1922 3043 the Palace as often as I conveniently could, as it was 1922 2743 Palace asking me to go to tea with the King. I begged 1923 1892 on Saturday there was a huge dinner party at the Palace in honour of 1923 254 rode up to the Palace in the afternoon to say goodbye to him and had a 1923 2077 took my good Mr Gordon to a tennis party at the Palace last week 1922 5667 received an order from the Palace to come up and dine that night with 1922 3206 had a telephone message from the Palace to say H.M. wanted to see me 1922 2739 supported at the Palace. In the evening I happened to see Nuri Pasha 1922 1140 subject of much rejoicing tonight at the Palace. It has made a good 1922 3096 along the river bank in front of the Palace. So I joined them and 1922 3080 Col. MacNeece, who was my companion in the Palestine 1922 6365 one of the fields I distinguished myself in was Palestine 1923 2651 And we're doing pretty badly in Palestine - 'Abdullah in Trans 1923 1119 suspect in Palestine also but at any rate I shall be favourably 1922 5151 Baghdad since I came back from Palestine and as far as I was concerned 1922 3676 mandate in Palestine and the still more iniquitous mandate of the 1922 1289 matter being away for a month with Father in Palestine and I 1922 1587 please, and told him all about 'Abdullah and Palestine and Syria 1922 1643 hear all about Palestine and Syria. He was delighted with your letter 1923 389 Sa'ud, Palestine and Syria, where King Husain is not esteemed. W 1922 1148 Palestine but I may come back from there. If I stayed I 1923 553 Palestine by May 12. I should they will probably let me 1922 3180 In Palestine he had been at pains to inquire into the 1922 4899 Galician front and beat us in Palestine in the beginning of 1918 1922 3560 the confirmation of the Palestine mandate by the League of Nations 1922 703 together in Palestine so that the Arabs might have the opportunity of 1922 1877 Yes, there wasn't one moment of our fortnight in Palestine that was 1923 2095 Palestine where whe is to stay with Sir Bertie. I didn't 1922 3800 that we have embarked on a path in Palestine which can lead to nothing 1922 5006 Zionist policy, Palestine will probably go too. Well, the interest 1922 3434 Mesopotamia or Syria and Palestine. All trade had stopped. I asked 1923 2710 It's a deadlock in Palestine. Capt C. thinks a Jewish High 1922 2959 name of mandates in Syria and Palestine. Even without these examples 1923 1330 Palestine. He was quite definite about the political 1923 991 I might perhaps come through to Ramleh (in Palestine) 1922 1420 land at Ramleh (in Palestine) and come up to Jerusalem by train or 1922 1410 Palestine) or at 'Amman. It is also quite probable that I 1922 1066 Palestine, but I don't think it's very likely. You see my 1922 3564 once and forever by combining the Syrian and Palestinian 1922 3571 Communistic organization - a thing every Palestinian and every Moslem 1922 3802 passed the Palestinian and Syrian mandates which are contrary to eve 1922 3794 intentions, and then paff! comes the Palestinian mandate which is 1922 2778 what will happen to the Palestinian mandate. (Incidentally did you 1922 2232 the part the Morning Post had played in the Palestinian question and 1922 1754 yesterday, a charming sensible creature. He's a Palestinian.

There are sure to be 1923 905 Macallum, or were under his wing, and one to Mr Palmer, they 1923 908 enquiring into the cause but I thought Mr Palmer's lady class B and 1922 1898 French absolutely refused to let them travel by Palmyra 1923 1179 Parafin Hair Stimulant - this is bathos I feel 1922 1702 it's good to think of. I wish I were with you in Paris 1922 2427 aiguille we went back over the whole tale of the Paris 1923 1272 Paris 1923 1092 to Paris and stay till I come home - the 6th of June I 1922 3460 out to your English creditor by a cheque on the Paris bank.

Yasin Pasha goes to Public Works so I 1922 1751 Arab officer called Subhi Bey Khadra whom Haddad Pasha had selected to 1922 1945 it, some said Nuri Pasha had taken the lead - in short the town was 1922 2523 empty town, meeting Nuri Pasha half way, for the King had told us to 1922 5493 dishonour in Asia. Ismit Pasha has given us private assurance (this 1922 240 this morning but I had a letter from Haddad Pasha in the afternoon to 1922 4903 Pasha in C'ple at once toed the Angora line and 1922 6171 I wonder if by any chance you saw Ja'far Pasha in London - he left 1922 911 I found them all in a house into which Nuri Pasha is 1923 1687 who hasn't come back yet. Ja'far Pasha is on his way back and I 1922 2798 Pasha of Basrah (you dined with him there) and Salih 1923 1070 Kurdish chiefs.

It was very good talk 1923 1679 I had Nuri Pasha to lunch. He is one of my best friends here 1922 4239 long in my office on Monday morning when Yasin Pasha was 1923 603 Mr Davidson and I dined with Mr Cornwallis; Nuri Pasha was 1922 4985 R. spoke both in English and Arabic.

I found one of the Ministers and Safwat Pasha with 1922 838 was a wild scuffle to follow the King, but Nuri Pasha with his 1922 6742 ('Abdullah Bey, he is the son of Ahmad Pasha with whom you 1923 2805 meet him, and Major Longrigg and 'Abdul Rahman Pasha Haidari 1923 1942 And there dropped in 'Abdul Jabbar Pasha Haiyat, an old christian of 1923 528 on a visit from Basrah, Abdul Latif Pasha Mandil (another Basrawi and 1922 5536 on is still Yasin Pasha.

No one else was there 1922 3306 letter of sympathy for the poor Pasha. She was a dear old Damascene 1923 318 to lunch on Sunday to meet my Minister (Yasin Pasha) 1922 5535 but I (being the confidant of Nuri Pasha) know that the man they rely 1922 5457 sent by the C.U.P. to murder Sharif Pasha; also seeing the Albanian 1922 2498 I had to tea the wife and daughters of Safwat Pasha, a pleasant old 1922 3030 old tutor, Safwat Pasha, a Damascene, and Safwat's adorable little 1922 2190 Ba'albeki - and Safwat Pasha, a Syrian, for 25 years an instructor at 1923 826 Minister, Yasin Pasha, also presented himself. You see the King and 1923 2208 of the Haji, to a daughter of one Amin Pasha, an ex-general in the 1923 1945 Health, Dr Hanna Khaiyat, and then Ja'far Pasha, and we sat gossipping 1922 6564 and poured steadily all day. My Minister, Yasin Pasha, came to see me 1922 4895 Sabih Bey, who introduced him to the C.G.S. Riza Pasha, got a job on 1922 5382 at his farmhouse. The party was Nuri, Yasin Pasha, his very 1922 2506 and Nuri Pasha, loves it and really plays quite well. Sabih Bey 1923 1985 night with Ja'far Pasha, the other guests being Nuri, his wife and 1922 3865 combined with the real desire of Yasin Pasha, the Mutasarrif, to deal 1923 2987 little business, such as calling on Ja'far Pasha, the P.M.; and then 1922 2830 with the ladies of Safwat Pasha's family.

I 1922 3965 Crescent - i.e. to the Turkish war chest. Nuri Pasha, who ws 1922 2415 Cornwallis, Yasin Pasha, Major Eadie and Naji Bey Suwaidi dropped in 1922 5285 had a delightful dinner two days ago with Ja'far Pasha, Mr 1922 3644 with his ADCs and Safwat Pasha, Rustam Haidar and Sabih Bey (Min of 1922 4742 Din, second son of the Naqib, Yasin Pasha, Saiyid Husain Afnan, and 1923 249 Ismet Pasha's boasts they show no keenness to begin the atack 1922 910 lunch I went out riding and called on Ja'far Pasha's family on 1922 2830 with the ladies of Safwat Pasha's family.

Will you tell Ja'far if you see him in 1923 2212 with the Amin Pashas, Hamdi, who is quite maudlin with happiness 1922 2802 British help. Ja'far Pashja ditto. The conversation between the four 1923 1876 and some of our 'Iraqis are weighty people; Paul's 1923 855 he shall order. Paul's photographs aren't priced so that though we 1923 1350 special message to my dear Pauline and George. It will be enchanting 1923 2780 must have been splendid to go through a siege. Pauline never did 1923 2285 find out whether Pauline went to Prince Max - did she? Henry Newbolt 1923 2779 the drama. I rather hope Pauline will come home though as Mother says 1923 364 Pauline's drawing. Isn't it delightful to see the next 1923 2401 approach Mr Pauling on the subject and if so would you do it? I 1922 5652 - and will greatly strengthen our hands at the Peace 1922 5498 allowed to send representatives to the Peace Conference (also deeply 1922 5239 'Iraq should ask to be represented at the Peace Conference with 1923 2907 Squadron Leader Peck, a young man at AHQ to whom I've lost my heart 1923 1957 man.

The expedition 1923 1955 Pennsylvania University who is here for a few days. He 1922 5407 should roll up but the war correspondent, Sir Perceval 1922 164 sources, for after Mr P. had got to Tehran, Sir Percy 1922 1501 'Iraq. It begins with us from the top, with Sir Percy 1922 4920 fell on his neck, his conversation with Sir Percy 1922 4144 and Sir Percy, he could take no step. Sir Percy 1922 4308 not to know of the arrests and of all that Sir Percy 1922 5189 Mahmud. All this I had passed on to Sir Percy 1922 1518 settled all our dates and communicated with Sir Percy 1922 6541 of Works, who has just been down with Sir Percy 1922 4558 so as to have a good chunk of time under Sir Percy 1922 167 When I remember the generosity with which Sir Percy 1923 1030 was a terrific dinner party in honour of Sir Percy 1923 379 I wonder if you have see Sir Percy 1923 1663 and friendly, much more conversable than Sir Percy 1923 1129 part in the business, which was simply this: Sir Percy 1922 236 Sir Percy - and often gets over a difficulty simply by 1923 946 overwhelmed by farewell entertainments to Sir Percy - he, poor 1922 1562 hear the news and telephone to Sir Percy - my telephone was out of 1922 1102 Sir Percy - I do hope he'll accept it. Captain Clayton and 1923 82 influences. I told Sir Percy about it next day, he entirely approved 1922 2146 he come in and see Sir Percy afterwards? and what did I think of it 1922 3374 back. Sir Percy agreed - I didn't; but however, having a tender 1922 222 quite comfortably in May. But Sir Percy agrees to let me fall in with 1922 2891 above board. He now sends straight to Sir Percy all the 1922 5119 first 3 hours of the morning preparing for Sir Percy an 1922 4504 Sunday morning while I'm writing to you, Sir Percy and 1922 5117 conference at the office at which he and Sir Percy and 1922 2538 Sir Percy and lots of ministers and people came to see me 1922 1585 with Sir Percy and lots of people to call - and at 4 I went to 1922 2716 all came to see Sir Percy and me - I need not tell you what kind of 1922 2165 morning, and told Sir Percy and me that he and the King had arrange 1922 1707 living free of charge. So I went to Sir Percy and said I thought the 1923 548 7 and Mother's. I'm so glad you have feted Sir Percy and that 1922 307 replied that I couldn't possibly leave Sir Percy and that I thought 1922 1287 really the only link between Sir Percy and the general public and I 1922 248 I was ill, but so did Sir Percy and the C in C (with whom I'm now warm 1922 2011 Sir Percy and Gen Fraser taking the salute. I got back to 1922 156 matter of fact Sir Percy and Haddad Pasha both got the whole series of 1923 1158 'Iraq Army. Sir Percy and I sat on either side of the King at lunch - 1922 1053 But both Sir Percy and I think that the country as a whole is with 1922 802 On Friday morning Sir Percy and I went to a very sad ceremony, the 1922 1077 time past letters have been passing between Sir Percy and Ibn 1922 4135 it ws successfully over. Before it was done Sir Percy and Mr 1922 4262 Percy and Mr cornwallis had come to agreement as to 1922 1950 etc etc. I went to the office, told Sir Percy anything 1923 3412 himself up after Sir Percy arrived even before, I think. I like him 1923 858 Sir Percy arrived safely on the 31st. Next day, being 1922 5300 was 5. So it should have been, but when Sir Percy arrived, he found 1922 6516 who went with Sir Percy as the King's representative told me that the 1922 4165 enclose a copy - it is Sir Percy at his very best and you can't beat 1922 6168 to have Sir Percy away when so many things are happening. We've 1922 1709 easily. Sir Percy backed me and that is how it has been arranged - 1922 3292 done now - I must write another memo for Sir Percy before I go to bed 1922 3402 the reason why. Sir Percy brougth down this news; he flew up to 1923 2136 approved by Sir Henry so it goes to Sir Percy by this mail. It's 1922 6513 Sir Percy came back on the 11th with treaties all signed 1922 1177 convinced that Sir Percy can bring everything to a satisfactory 1922 5581 office at 8.15 I found Sir Percy champing for a draft of a telegram he 1922 2896 else! Last week Sir Percy consented to send home positively the last 1922 3287 if Sir Percy consents, provisional Director of Archaeology to 1923 1082 fortnight. The entertainments to Sir Percy continue. Yesterday we 1922 4795 Abu Timman, the implacable extremist whom Sir Percy deported 1922 5259 finger, and if we help them, as Sir Percy did the other day, and break 1922 6748 I went straight to the office and finding Sir Percy engaged had a 1922 1341 disobey the summons came in to Sir Percy first to ask his advice as to 1923 2186 meet Percy Loraine and inspect oil fields. Percy flew on from there 1922 977 Which Heaven forbid! but all honour to Sir Percy for having 1922 6786 On the 2nd Sir Percy gave a state dinner to the King and the Cabinet 1922 6165 Tonight Sir Percy goes off to the Persian Gulf to meet Ibn Sa'ud - 1923 1077 and Haji Naji's sorrow at parting with Sir Percy goes to my 1922 2918 difficulty in finding a third Kingdom. What Sir Percy haas 1922 4448 what had happened since his operation. Sir Percy had 1922 1171 was up to us to take action. Yesterday Sir Percy had a perfectly 1922 4470 after they had gone. The fifth day, Sir Percy had bidden me tell 1922 4595 the Sir Percy had done, and promised that he would ask the 1922 4717 that Sir Percy had done? Our next excitement was the arrival f 1923 874 job for us (Archaeological Dept). Sir Percy had him to lunch and 1922 2547 the whole thing exceedingly difficult again. Sir Percy has 1922 969 Percy has advised that it should be and at his request 1922 3588 also mail day Sir Percy has decided to pay no visits in the morning 1922 4269 public affairs he must either ratify what Sir Percy has done during 1922 1045 to meet them. Very nice they were. Sir Percy has just been in to 1922 4221 of the credit. Sir Percy has never made a mistak, either in 1922 2163 However, Sir Percy has plenty 1923 340 very soothing. My pony is lame but Sir Percy has put his polo ponies 1922 4171 of fact Sir Percy has saved the situation and he has given the 1922 3466 treaty. Sir Percy has sent an admirable telegram home strongly 1922 3995 been driven out, and Sir Percy has written to Ibn Sa'ud warning him 1922 1162 Mr Cornwallis and Sir Percy have tried to find ways for him to get 1923 1053 Municipality gave a tea party to Sir Percy in the Maude Garden - the 1922 1079 continuous with the 'Iraq. Sir Percy is anxious to arange a treaty 1922 4506 Sir Percy is asking him to endorse all he has done, to 1922 6235 But truly the Residency is intolerable when Sir Percy is away. Lady 1923 832 Sir Percy is coming by this air mail and should be here on 1923 2 Percy is going home by this airmail to help the 1922 1188 in the melting pot. Sir Percy is obviously immensely relieved that 1922 226 and with Mr Garbett away Sir Percy is short-handed, but apart from my 1922 6285 it has been a fortnight of few events. Sir Percy is still 1922 6422 December 7. Sir Percy is still dallying in the Persian Gulf, not 1923 219 Percy isn't likely to think that anyone can derive 1923 1189 Last week Sir Percy left - a very moving farewell. All the people 1922 4600 appointments made by the Cabinet in being. Sir Percy left it at that 1922 4273 either Faisal or Sir Percy must go 1922 4209 Sir Percy not to begin hostilities. There might be a 1922 505 menace about which I've told Father. Sir Percy observed mildly today 1922 3477 enemies! Sir Percy observed that since Faisal was a Constitutional 1922 5308 know what it's about." Sir Percy observed that this was the English 1922 314 I didn't tell Sir Percy of Mr C's offer. I think he counts on having 1923 1054 King came also and presented Sir Percy on behalf of the town with a 1923 423 much easier commerce than Sir Percy on these occasions, and oh! the 1922 3894 much alarmed and I've urged Sir Percy once more to let the King try 1922 4594 Percy passed off very satisfactorily. He accepted and 1922 4927 very pronounced - we might 'ave it; however Sir Percy persuaded him 1922 2904 from a foreigner. Sir Percy pointed out that a British irrigation 1922 6425 round directly Sir Percy put the matter to him, but what an amazing 1922 1063 over to Jerusalem if Sir Percy requests him to do so - but this had 1922 5312 Percy returned gently that his secretary couldn't be 1922 5304 of. At last Sir Percy said "What about the treaty?" The Naqib looked 1922 467 heard yet what passed. Sir Percy said that he seemed to regard the 1922 2888 with the King, wasn't it? It did some good. Sir Percy saw him 1922 4042 M. had written a remarkably silly letter to Sir Percy saying that 1922 1734 treaty. I conceived the luminous idea that Sir Percy should be asked 1922 6520 treaty is on exactly the lines that Sir Percy stipulated. I was glad 1922 3829 Churchill adopts the scheme Sir Percy sugested. And we wait knowing 1922 2661 at once apprehended. At the same time Sir Percy telegraphed to 1922 5512 night - Sir Percy telephoned it to me just before dinner. I'm so 1922 5974 urged on Sir Percy that we shouldn't allow the Turks the 1922 1201 Sir Percy thinks that I'm some help to him in his 1922 427 irresistible. Sir Percy thinks the dynasty won't go, in which case 1922 4906 what will be the next move with Yasin. Sir Percy thinks very 1922 4635 the way he has been treated. He was to see Sir Percy this evening 1922 5769 Percy this evening 1923 2256 Percy this mail and asked him to get it though the 1923 1096 very moving saying goodbye to Sir Percy though I myself shall see him 1922 1318 Percy to arrange for me to go this way, but I couldn't 1922 3669 7 I went as usual to Sir Percy to give my report of happenings in the 1922 2568 However in another telegram I.S. begs Sir Percy to meet him somewhere 1922 5788 is gong off with Sir Percy to Bahrain to meet Ibn Sa'ud and I expect 1923 951 Percy today, and then there rose a terrific storm wiht 1922 4044 definitely released from it. Sir Percy told me that he intended to 1922 3837 interview with the High Commissioner. Sir Percy told me to interview 1922 2026 the rebellion two years ago. Sir Percy told me to look after the King 1922 2129 I'm going to present to Sir Percy tomorrow 1923 179 for the mail and preparing things which Sir Percy wants to 1922 2665 telegram ran quickly through the town! Sir Percy was delighted 1922 6517 is finished, that Sir Percy was magnificent and that Ibn Sa'ud is 1922 2230 Percy was much pleased 1922 3009 Anglo-Arab club. Sir Percy was there and was perfectly delighful to 1922 3683 I told Sir Percy what I thought and sat tight. Not for long. Next 1922 6571 afternoon writing a long memorandum for Sir Percy which 1922 1350 for the moderates - and Sir Percy who has handled it with the greatest 1922 1737 Sir Percy who raised no objection, so I've told Saiyid 1922 4274 With that I took him up to Sir Percy who told him that it was his 1923 21 Anyhow, Sir Percy will be there to state the facts. He is very 1922 1672 the debates on the treaty. I think Sir Percy will have to give them a 1922 54 away. I myself think his work very good and Sir Percy will miss his 1922 695 that I can save time by going by air. Sir Percy would arrange it for 1922 1146 Tuesday and talk about it. I think Sir Percy would be glad if I 1922 217 And now about our plans. Sir Percy would like me to go away as late 1922 945 be possible to go by air if Sir Percy would like me to stay here as 1922 2694 told time and again that Sir Percy would refuse to send a resolution 1923 1057 following motto: Sir Percy Cox Baghdad thanks. Wasn't it touching - 1923 2186 meet Percy Loraine and inspect oil fields. Percy flew on 1923 1052 from the decisiveness of Sir Percy. Did I tell you that the 1922 3352 day and made a memorandum with a map for Sir Percy. I haven't the 1923 1075 Percy. In spite of its being Ramadhan several of the 1922 3055 Percy. Major Bourdillon flew to Sulaimani and 1922 4802 instantly came across to show it to Sir Percy. Mr C and I went back 1922 2590 for Sir Percy. You will see that I've dealt faithfully with 1923 1620 dearest family. I must write a word to Sir Percy. Your very 1922 4539 home. (I was negotiating on behalf of Sir Percy). As gentle a little 1922 6501 drawn up for Sir Percy, an appreciation of the present political 1922 4150 vain and Sir Percy, came back extremely sad that he hadn't secured 1923 1489 farewell from Sir Percy, dear old thing, and I've written to him 1923 910 naturally knew nothing about the quarrel and Sir Percy, equally 1922 4144 suggested by himself and Sir Percy, he could take no step. Sir Percy 1923 3488 Nigel, Bernard and Ken all agree with me. Sir Percy, on these 1922 3991 entirely to Sir Percy, onto what looks uncommonly like firm ground. I 1922 5534 Sir Percy, putting Naji Suwaidi in the forefront of the 1922 1181 foolish. This is all private of course. Sir Percy, that great master 1922 2563 come out quite straight, it wil be up to Sir Percy, that great weaver 1922 5305 perfectly blank. "Have you got it?" said Sir Percy, turning to Saiyid 1922 4781 it. The question is what Yasin's mind is. Sir Percy, who had been 1923 1087 Sir Percy, Sir Henry, the A.V.M. and Col Slater being the 1922 5409 evactuation of 'Iraq. I had him to lunch, at Sir Percy's 1923 1743 than you so much for sending me Sir Percy's 1923 1999 Assyrian Levies. It was an old fault of Sir Percy's - we all knew it 1922 4312 Percy's action is universally approved. Sharp action has 1922 4357 believe that if the King refuses to accept Sir Percy's action the 1922 179 Arab world put together. With Sir Percy's approval I have written a 1922 4126 doubt arranged to take place at the hour of Sir Percy's audience, and 1922 6515 the King under Sir Percy's auspices. Sabih Bey, ex Minister of Works 1922 5434 go. It was rather fun. I plumped 'Ali into Sir Percy's box 1922 5095 There were very few people. I went to Sir Percy's box and he put me 1922 4551 himself, to play the part. However that's Sir Percy's business 1922 4214 special copies of Sir Percy's communique forwarded to them, together 1922 4378 brilliant success of Sir Percy's coup given us internal stability than 1922 3467 advising Mr Churchill to give way and (since Sir Percy's formula was 1922 4319 heel. Sir Percy's greatest triumph has been with the two dangerous 1923 342 a moment. And as Sir Percy's groom is in love with Marie (fortunately 1922 192 tied, by Sir Percy's orders, till after Mr Churchill's speech in June 1922 4554 He is Sir Percy's own choice, he was here for a year and a half at 1922 182 Percy's request I have also drawn up materials for the 1922 4553 Sir Percy's second in command and ultimate successor. I'm 1922 4128 It was now Sir Percy's turn to get busy. He waited until the 1922 1050 developments of the day and hear Sir Percy's views. It's deeply 1922 5893 himself ratehr shelved since Sir Percy's vigourous action in August 1923 1668 remarkable change. If we haven't Sir Percy's wisdom, neither have we 1922 111 back at the office. We're delighted with Sir Percy's GCMG 1923 1775 Capt Clayton and Mr Thomson to meet him.

Sir 1922 6366 for I was mentioned by Sir Reginald Wingate. I didn't know the the 1922 6185 full of news of all kinds. If I had Salmon Reinach's address perhaps 1922 5926 or two out we met Col. Dobbin with his ADC, Mr Renton 1922 3025 then, came to see me in my office. As Col Repington 1922 4332 Next day another of the wanted seven came to the Residency 1923 1190 came the day before to a garden party at the Residency and the 1922 6750 He is staying at the Residency and I see him every day at lunch but I 1923 442 Residency are practically non-existent, largely owing to 1922 4106 With that I went across to the Residency by boat - you realize, all in 1923 2901 garden party - the statues is just outside the Residency gates and 1923 1667 is excellent. Yes, the atmosphere of the Residency has undergone a 1922 6224 I had to go to a bazaar at the Residency in aid of the curate in whom 1922 6235 But truly the Residency is intolerable when Sir Percy is away. Lady 1922 1239 lunched twice at the Residency last week, the second time to meet Sir 1923 642 in flower and found Haji Naji entertaining the Residency party who 1923 3162 couldn't do anything. I dined at the Residency to meet the King - a 1923 3506 congratulations." The dinner party at the Residency was a 1923 1864 Residency. The guests were Bernard Bourdillon, Ken 1923 3530 disputes to the High Commissioner and the Resident in the Persian Gulf 1922 6242 to alter the bidding prayer on the strength of a Reuter 1922 478 Reuter also gives us the discouraging news that the 1923 386 and has insisted on the suppression of the Reuter message 1922 1106 The Reuters are full of the astounding news about Edwin. I'm 1923 2793 rather more hopeful according to the latest Reuters. If America comes 1923 1975 - Lady Oliver, Richmonds, Mrs C.- sound very pleasant. It's curious 1923 2578 pleased that old Rif'at should have suggested bringing her. He is 1923 2573 And yesterday Rif'at Bey Chadirji, Rauf's father (Rauf had lunched 1922 4559 an interesting man has arrived, namens Amin Rihani.

Rishan loves the fire even 1922 4902 of the Turkish Army were to be reemployed in it; Riza 1922 4895 Sabih Bey, who introduced him to the C.G.S. Riza Pasha, got a job on 1923 2795 from Lord Robert about the European situation - not hopeful, but 1923 2274 find a client for the other. If Lord Robert would like one, I should 1923 1311 - Father and I being engaged to lunch with Lady Robson 1922 5887 dinner Col. Rogers, O.C. of the Rajputi .....here, and his Major 1922 242 be necessary. I sent up a little offering of Roman 1923 3175 woman in Rome! But I always wondered how he could bear it. He 1923 161 you probably won't remember at the School of Rome, Mr 1922 290 I've written to Hugo at Jerusalem, c/o Ronald Storrs 1923 1312 to meet Ronald Storrs and bride 1922 4688 By the way I had a letter from Ronald Storrs describing his dinner 1923 2441 Professor Dennison Ross about him. Isn't it wonderful of these old 1923 3112 Now I've suddenly wakened up to the fact that my Round Table article will 1923 2255 weeks. Yes, I've sent my article for the Round Table to Sir 1923 2135 dwe went through my article for the Round Table which has also been 1923 1718 the 'Iraq for the Round Table.

No telegram from you about the dinner but 1922 211 shut up Rounton for a bit. The worst of it is that it will be so 1923 1380 be at home at Rounton where I think life in the family circle is more 1922 1303 he wants a pattern there's a blue cloth habit at Rounton which he 1923 2636 his visit to Rounton. And that evening I had to dinner and Bridge Mr 1922 4713 is at Rounton. Ellen will know where 1922 493 you've decided not to leave Rounton. It would have been a terrible 1923 3116 I wonder who is making merry this Xmas at Rounton. We're going off to 1922 3016 Monday 9th I had Rustam Haidar, the Head of the Royal Diwan to tea 1922 4976 may presently find a small Royal Highness presenting letters of 1923 31 the occupation of the Ruhr, Turkish pretensions at Lausanne and all 1922 5241 or Russia.

But there was also a Russian refugee girl ther who is 1922 5049 in a red velvet envelope. The head of the Diwan, Rustam 1922 2195 any value. He and Rustam stayed till past 12 and for the last hour 1922 6292 it made me laugh - that when the Cabinet fell, Rustam Haidar 1922 2504 where Rustam Haidar (the Secretary) had asked me to come and 1922 3536 the tiny boy Ahmad, Rustam Haidar and an ADC joined us, and we had the 1922 789 him a letter to Rustam Haidar and told him to trot off and pay a call 1922 784 anything he wanted. On the way back Rustam Haidar and I motoring 1922 3644 with his ADCs and Safwat Pasha, Rustam Haidar and Sabih Bey (Min of 1923 1143 dangerous politician) and the King's Secretary, Rustam Haidar. After 1922 2242 Works) and Rustam Haidar. We talked over the whole mandate 1922 3700 We met again at Asfar's dinner where we found Rustam Haidar, and Amin 1922 2188 General of Police. the other two were Rustam Haidar, chief Secretary 1922 3414 too, with Rustam Haidar, the head of his Diwan, and an ADC. He 1922 3016 On Monday 9th I had Rustam Haidar, the Head of the Royal Diwan to tea 1922 2507 Rustam, Safwat and I sat by and applauded - it was a 1922 1302 I've written to Ruswine ordering a new linen habit and told him that 1922 2780 opposition to the Rutenberg concession is based?) If we can't do that 1923 2335 Jews, I don't gather that Rutenberg has got his money, do you know how 1922 6227 an hour and a half, I found Colonel MacNeece (RAF 1923 2746 interesting thing happened - this is secret. The RAF 1923 997 I think I told you I've got a new friend in the RAF 1923 2472 And now, confound it, I've got to go to an RAF ball. I accepted 1922 2371 Fraser, RAF etc etc. I sat opposite H.M. between Sir T 1923 2533 The RAF had a sport's week. I went on Friday with Sir 1922 4515 silenced them. The RAF has been wonderful but it can't stop invaders 1922 2859 in close touch with the Turks at Rawandaz. The RAF has done 1922 2990 often we add some Colonel or RAF man who is a friend of us all. We 1923 2541 and the whole thing was very well done by the RAF so we all 1923 996 arrives. It is very good of the RAF to take me, for it is an immense 1923 3187 perfectly delicious when he talks about the RAF. They are wonderful 1923 942 command of the RAF, a charming person. He has just come fromt eh 1922 4397 part of the RAF, and we put a brave face on it, but whether we 1923 1060 successful performance on the part of Levies and RAF, and I hope we're 1922 2810 I had 'Abdul Muhsin Sa'dun (Minister of Justice) and his brother 1922 6709 people, the greatest in the 'Iraq except the Sa'dun and Salman has 1922 6340 Muhsin Bey Sa'dun is a member of the great tribal family of the 1922 6341 - you remember all the problem about the Sa'dun landlords 1922 1835 Justice, 'Abdul Mahsin Sa'dun, a moderate and sensible native of 1923 2606 Sa'dun, and vive le roi, I've asked his successor, 'Ali 1922 5717 I had had the Minister of Interior, Muhsin Bey Sa'dun, to lunch. He 1922 3513 Minister of Justice, 'Abdul Muhsin Sa'dun, to meet him. Isma'il is as 1923 2151 member of the great Arab house of the Sa'dun, was a deputy in the 1922 6309 guided by his Prime Minister, Muhsin Bey al Sa'dun, who is 1922 6197 P.M. Muhsin Bey Sa'dun, I most particularly like and think well of 1923 3404 Haji Sa'dun, Shaikh of the northern Bani Hasan. I wonder if 1923 2749 promised to overturn Muhsin Sa'dun's Cabinet, put in a Shi'ah ministry 1922 2814 party. Both these Sa'duns have talked to the King like so many 1922 1622 Nuri Sa'id had been to call the day I was with the King so 1922 5623 and next as Intelligence Officer at Port Sa'id in 1915 1922 18 on Saturday which was cheerful, and Nuri Sa'id on Xmas Day, after 1922 3685 Sa'id wanted to have my advice before he discussed 1922 5453 in Paris. She was rescued by her uncle, Sa'id Halim Pasha 1923 1112 have today a telegram from him (from Port Sa'id) saying that he is 1922 1082 in the spring shall be included in 'Iraq. Ibn Sa'ud 1923 3534 my Antiquities Law passed at last. He says Ibn Sa'ud 1922 4993 impossible requests. Also, according to Ibn Sa'ud (you know 1922 6165 Percy goes off to the Persian Gulf to meet Ibn Sa'ud - a 1922 1172 admirable telegram from Ibn Sa'ud - telegrams take some time because 1923 2070 connected with Ibn Sa'ud and raids in the south, or with tribal 1923 1518 talking about Faisal's visit and Ibn Sa'ud and Arabian boundaries till 1922 5788 gong off with Sir Percy to Bahrain to meet Ibn Sa'ud and I expect 1922 6424 ratified which Ibn Sa'ud had refused to do. I knew I.S. would come 1922 3986 Sa'ud has protested bitterly against his carryings on 1922 2565 Meantime Ibn Sa'ud has refused to accept the terms of the 1922 1170 Sa'ud himself was implicated n the matter - and if he 1922 6517 that Sir Percy was magnificent and that Ibn Sa'ud is 1922 6514 in his hands. Ibn Sa'ud is coming to the 'Iraq in the spring to visit 1922 1089 bombed. Ibn Sa'ud may repudiate the action of his followers 1922 4991 Ibn Sa'ud sent him by the hand of the Najd pilgrims, the 1922 3995 driven out, and Sir Percy has written to Ibn Sa'ud warning him 1922 4998 it. In the batch of letters from Ibn Sa'ud was one for me, of which I 1922 2116 serious. Ibn Sa'ud who is at daggers drawn with Faisal's father 1922 1178 conclusion for Ibn Sa'ud worships him only second to Allah. Meantime 1923 1127 country against Ibn Sa'ud. Hang it all, I'll cut matters short by 1922 1078 Sa'ud. The conquest of Hail by the latter in Nov makes 1923 2836 for him, held now by Ibn Sa'ud. The King who has no reason to love 1922 6542 the 'Iraq represetnative in the meeting with Ibn Sa'ud. Two 1922 6286 away with Ibn Sa'ud; we expect him back this week. On Sunday 26th I 1922 3294 most delightful letter from Ibn Sa'ud, in answer to an equally 1922 3298 intended to reply to Ibn Sa'ud, quite excellent. I feel so overjoyed 1923 389 Sa'ud, Palestine and Syria, where King Husain is not 1923 3531 - to the British Govt in short. Ibn Sa'ud's delegates would not take 1922 3981 will interest Father - that the Wahhabis (Ibn Sa'ud's followers) 1922 1085 matters came to a head on the 11th when Ibn Sa'ud's people attacked in 1922 2571 convinced. I've a suspicion that Ibn Sa'ud's rather truculent 1923 3475 Ibn Sa'ud's representatives, came to see me after lunch to 1923 65 theirs. I exhibited surprise and delight when Sabeh 1923 3533 thankful that Sabih is back for we want him badly in the Cabinet and 1922 4016 do; he must have a specific programme. As Sabih justly said: "When he 1922 2397 his district. After Sabih left we had a most amicable conversation at 1923 3538 British, Sabih thinks we can make him accept any terms which we 1922 5630 and next day I sent him round to my minister, Sabih Bey 1922 4003 heading straight to destruction. Subsequently Sabih Bey 1922 2506 Pasha, loves it and really plays quite well. Sabih Bey 1923 1890 shuffled out of it. We played Bridge after and Sabih Bey 1923 453 Sabih Bey (now Lord Mayor of Baghdad) Dr Hanna Khaiyat 1923 2554 Sabih Bey (soon, I expect, to become a minister) gave 1922 3644 his ADCs and Safwat Pasha, Rustam Haidar and Sabih Bey (Min of 1922 2491 I went to an immense lunch given by Sabih Bey (Minister of PW) to bid 1922 5383 nice brother Taha, Sabih Bey (Minister of Works) and me. We played a 1922 2241 like an angel! Ja'far Pasha was there, Sabih Bey (Minister of Public 1922 2383 Sabih Bey - very modern, talks passable French and 1922 5425 Works, so that I am directly under my friend Sabih Bey and 1922 3264 glasses of grape juice with Sabih Bey and so motored home. Wed. 19th 1922 5635 stay in Baghdad to have it cured.) After lunch Sabih Bey and I went to 1923 1845 Henry had a dinner party for me - the P.M., Sabih Bey and Ja'far were 1923 1865 Lloyds, the Prime Minister, Sabih Bey and Ja'far. Ja'far, I must tell 1923 2468 Sabih Bey brought his wife and daughter to tea on 1922 4005 the same thing. Sabih Bey came to tea with me next day and related 1922 6541 Sabih Bey ex Minister of Works, who has just been down 1923 3525 I love - he is just back with Sabih Bey from the Kuwait Conference 1923 2461 no doubt as to his being returned!) while Sabih Bey gracefully 1922 4055 bathed from Sabih Bey's house. Poor Sabih Bey had grown gloomier and 1923 2676 at the station on Friday and found that Sabih Bey had spontaneously 1923 3477 wants and Sabih Bey has certainly done very well 1922 6545 Sabih Bey is a great wag and told a number of funny 1923 2600 Sabih Bey is in, the portfolio not yet settled; if its 1923 2454 lunch and Sabih Bey to meet them. It was a wild success. They 1923 2457 this permitted both Majid Bey of Kirkuk and Sabih Bey to stand without 1923 2557 courses doesn't fall in with my habits, but Sabih Bey was an excellent 1922 2393 "Sulaiman ibn Daud." Sabih Bey was much pleased with this; it's a 1923 60 Sabih Bey who had come to consult me as to whetehr he 1922 2255 certain of that" said Sabih Bey. "I'm far from certain" I replied 1922 1258 from Constantinople, Sabih Bey. He is intelligent and cultivated and 1923 2338 Mayor, Sabih Bey. We discussed teh fortunes of the 1922 5411 Sabih Bey. We had a valuable talk. Sir P.P. propounded 1922 5419 and Sabih Bey. We played bridge - the King has quite an 1923 2138 story. I had the Lord Mayor of Baghdad (Sabih Bey) 1922 6515 the King under Sir Percy's auspices. Sabih Bey, ex Minister of Works 1923 3474 take me home. Sabih Bey, just back from the Kuwait Conference with 1923 319 and Major J.M. Wilson - also Sabih Bey, the ex-Minister who is always 1923 1566 Serai where I called on all the Ministers and on Sabih Bey, the Lord 1922 4895 Sabih Bey, who introduced him to the C.G.S.

Mr 1922 4055 bathed from Sabih Bey's house. Poor Sabih Bey had grown gloomier 1923 3528 said Sabih, couldn't be got to understand anything. Our 1923 2577 so poor Sabihah has a dullish time. I'm very fond of her and I 1922 6678 'Abdul Sadah had put me up a tent in which I had a hot bath 1922 6649 'Abdul Sadah, like everyone else, lives in a large straw 1922 6690 'Abdul Sadah, I must tell you, is also one of the Fatlah 1922 6644 'Abdul Sadah's canal. There was a good hour or more down it 1922 6658 ado to 'Abdul Sadah's lordly meal. And when we had finished, just as 1922 6694 rice crop, as was indeed their object.

After dinner Safwat discreetly melted away and 1922 3046 his whole career for him, as I pointed out, but Safwat held 1922 3094 On Friday I took the Safwat ladies to tea with the French sisters at 1922 3637 Safwat Pasha's ladies; old Safwat toddled along too and expleained how 1922 3095 hospital and bringing them back met the King and Safwat waling 1922 3041 engaging as only he can be and Safwat was so favourably impressed by 1923 1880 wife, Mme Safwat Pasha (she is generally reputed to be also the 1922 3535 Clayton.

So we drove round 1922 5318 of the Naqib's eldest son, Saiyid Mahmud) and telling them they are 1922 3772 His son, Saiyid Mahmud, by dint of much pushing and goading, has 1922 5128 So we started at 5.45 a.m. and rendezvoused with Saiyid Mahmud, the 1922 5708 think I've got him to see the need for action.

Saiyid Taha isn't very 1923 1237 once so Saiyid Taha was sent up on Friday and the two up there 1923 1251 don't think Saiyid Taha will last - it doesn't matter perhaps very 1922 3059 brigand, Saiyid Taha, over the frontier to see if he will take 1922 5741 Meantime Simko and his henchman, Saiyid Taha, who have recently been 1923 1220 Qaimmaqam, a pleasant phibusterer called Saiyid Taha, whom all the 1923 1906 ripple of the Saiyid's talk.

And then on Sasun who gave me a lively description of 1923 3541 - he was very outgoing. Then I went to see Sasun who has been 1923 2523 always persuade Sasun you know. Well I won't.

He had got all our 1923 1950 it - for instance when I looked round Shaikh 'Ali's luncheon table at 1923 3377 But the next was almost better. We went to Shaikh 'Umran al Zanbar on 1923 2800 for 25 years. He was Shaikh al Islam for two years after the 1923 3426 guest houses where we found his brother 'Alwan, Shaikh of the 1923 114 but we were less happy when we found that a Shaikh of the 1923 3404 Haji Sa'dun, Shaikh of the northern Bani Hasan. I wonder if you've 1923 3378 the tails of the Mahawil canal. 'Umran, Shaikh of the Albu 'Ali, was 1922 2013 from Ramadi. He is paramount Shaikh of Dulaim and one of the most 1922 4340 Among those who were wanted was a certain Shaikh Ahmad Daud who was 1922 5398 Shaikh Ali Sulaiman from Ramadi (with H.E.'s 1922 2012 about 9 and half an hour later came in Shaikh Ali Sulaiman straight 1922 1135 tomorrow with Shaikh Ali Sulaiman of the Dulaim to see the new Dulaim 1922 3629 visits, notably old Shaikh Fahad of the 'Anizah, darling old thing.

Shaikh Mahmud is 1922 4964 Sulaimani politics. But as rogues go, Shaikh Mahmud is a nice rogue 1923 538 Sulaimani is going very ill. Shaikh Mahmud is in close touch with the 1922 4532 tribes and in the second Shaikh Mahmud is technically a Holy Man - all 1922 4939 wished. After that until Shaikh Mahmud left on the 20th he came to call on 1922 4916 other salient figure in our landscape has been Shaikh Mahmud of 1923 3458 finally made up his mind that Shaikh Mahmud of Sulaimani, who had been 1923 3465 day came a telegram from Shaikh Mahmud saying that he was in the best 1922 4530 Shaikh Mahmud should have any hold on the country 1922 4934 clearly been very tactful, H.M. had.

I arrived at a moment of slight tension, Sir 1923 2621 Grenfell. On Sunday morning I rode out to see Sir 1923 1554 since I left. It was delightful. A message from Sir 1923 1302 I motored out to lunch with the Reggie Talbots. Sir 1923 218 fearfully raging. It's a fortunate thing that Sir 1923 1966 of Najaf is settling in my room waiting to see Sir 1923 1844 dinner party for the Air Marshall and last night Sir 1923 950 was to be a tea given by the municipality to Sir 1923 2255 Yes, I've sent my article for the Round Table to Sir 1922 5772 I am indeed glad that Sir A.

This I accordingly did; Sir Aylmer 1922 373 out for lunch on mr Cornwallis and Sir Aylmer during the two days when 1922 1231 done and very pleasant. I sat by Sir Aylmer opposite to the King and 1922 1233 he was going to make a short speech of thanks to Sir Aylmer which I 1922 1227 We were very busy last week saying goodbye to Sir Aylmer who left 3 1922 98 I dined with Sir Aylmer who, dear old thing, had asked the king 1922 1101 Sir Bertie Clayton has been offered the post of 1923 2095 Palestine where whe is to stay with Sir Bertie.

Sir Edward and Sasun Eff got on 1923 2358 Sir Edward is? well, I assure you he was quite 1922 656 with Mr Cornwallis and Sir Edward Bulfin, hence my phraseology!) we 1923 2356 I dined with Sir John Salmond last week to meet Sir Edward Ellington 1922 4702 explain themselves. I've written personally to Sir F Macmillan 1923 314 convenience I'm a member of it. Sir F. Kenyon, Chief Librarian of 1923 3124 writing to Sir F. Macmillan about Amurath - thank you for that 1922 5661 books, the response to my appeal t Sir Frederick Macmillan. Isn't it 1922 5012 him. He is rather like his brother Sir Geoffrey in face (you met the 1922 5074 Archer but I like Sir Geoffrey very much. As for Mrs Knowles or 1922 139 a pity he didn't have a better biographer than Sir George Arthur 1923 1227 Cornwallis - of course I had told Sir H. about it too. The 1923 1557 telephone being out of order. I found Sir H. and Bernard Bourdillon 1923 1586 the end of it was that Sir H. said he haadn't meant that at all and 1922 2608 I see Sir H.G. has gone back. I wonder what he has 1923 1660 to have dined by myself and done some work, but Sir Henry 1923 2106 go to the King's tennis to which he has invited Sir Henry 1923 2707 untelephonable, to convey to Sir Henry 1923 1078 But fortunately he has made great friends with Sir Henry 1923 3544 And by the way, I think I must have two more - Sir Henry 1923 417 On Monday the King had a dinner party for Sir Henry - Col. Slater, Mr 1923 1045 it excruciating! However I stayed to sup with Sir Henry and 1923 2896 Henry's eloquence. Then they all laid wreaths, Sir Henry and 1923 3193 This afternoon, I rode out to Kadhimain where Sir Henry and his party 1923 1201 just reoccupied. Sir Henry and the A.V.M. held one view which was 1923 1229 right. Then I lunched with Sir Henry and the A.V.M. and went over 1923 1064 Cornwallis with Sir Henry and the AVM. I'm quite certain the P.M. is 1923 2549 who have gone back to India. Sir Henry and the Bourdillons were the 1923 859 in with Sir Henry and told me all his tale. We're satisfied 1923 430 I like Sir Henry and we got on very well. He is all for 1923 2485 And then I came away with Sir Henry and Bernard, both of whom were 1923 243 quadrupled, Sir Henry and I agreed as we came away. We've sent 1923 2905 party for Sir Henry and Lady Dobbs and the Joyces, just back 1923 958 left alone at the job, with Sir Henry and Mr Cornwallis to advise, we 1923 1048 meet Sir Henry and Mr Cornwallis, a very pleasant evening 1923 2299 Sir Henry appears to be having a great time in Mosul 1923 1669 Lady Cox's folly and Sir Henry brings a geniality of his own.

It was a very pleasant dinner; Sir Henry is so agreeable and 1923 421 easy and pleasant. Sir Henry is very genial; he struggles along in 1923 354 since the occupation. Sir Henry is very nice and outgoing on these 1923 447 crystallized. At present while Sir Henry is Lady Cox's guest of 1923 658 Museum) Mr Cooke and Sir Henry lunched with me and Mr Cooke and I 1923 2893 However we all said the right thing and Sir Henry made an admirable 1923 961 going to see Sir Henry on Monday and we'll see what happens 1923 1780 lunched and so did I, with Sir Henry on Sunday - Sir Henry's French is 1923 2540 very well and dropped into easy conversation; Sir Henry pulled 1923 3455 I found Sir Henry rather disgruntled at having been kept in 1923 1218 it, Sir Henry said he thought them wrong and wouldn't 1923 419 officials and a contingent of Cabinet ministers. Sir Henry sat on one 1923 2530 Sir Henry says it doesn't matter now whether we 1923 1203 held another. Finally on Sunday the 30th Sir Henry sent 1923 1427 year in Baghdad. Sir Henry sent a kind telegram which I enclose, but 1923 2758 After long consultations we decided that Sir Henry should 1923 2481 with Sir Henry sitting next the Air Marshall. When I 1923 2136 approved by Sir Henry so it goes to Sir Percy by this mail. It's 1923 203 talk with Sir Henry some day about plans. As at present 1923 1049 was delightful. Sir Henry stayed on a long time after the Tods had 1923 209 must break to Sir Henry that I'm going on leave and find out 1923 2533 RAF had a sport's week. I went on Friday with Sir Henry to see 1923 2424 I went with Sir Henry to see polo finals in the afternoon; quite 1923 2914 Sir Henry to unpersuade him of the conviction 1923 345 local adviser at Baghdad) and I took Sir Henry to Kadhimain where we 1923 3241 Sir Henry was always observing that he did not know 1923 2185 P.M., Sir Henry was away part of last week; he went to 1923 784 summer and leaves next week); Mr Davidson and Sir Henry were the other 1923 1812 with the 'ulama of the exodus in Persia. He told Sir Henry what 1923 2068 badly I thought - so did Sir Henry who was enchanted at the suggestion 1923 3510 returned by the German emperor!) Sir Henry with the pale blue ribbon 1922 6466 towards the end of the month probably. If Sir Henry Dobbs 1923 86 Next came Sir Henry Dobbs for a good talk for which we really 1922 4552 I must tell you in secret that Sir Henry Dobbs is finally appointed as 1922 6749 pleasant talk with Sir Henry Dobbs who had arrived while I was away 1923 688 doubt. If I were Sir Henry I wouldn't keep on someone of whom people 1923 3164 staying with Sir Henry. He is Minister in Tehran, or was, and is 1923 530 meet Sir Henry. It was very successful - Muhsin Bey whom 1923 2742 message yesterday morning for me to give to Sir Henry, telling him 1923 1087 Sir Percy, Sir Henry, the A.V.M. and Col Slater being the other 1923 3021 to steam into the station. Next to him is Sir Henry, then Col 1923 816 and Dr Sinderson with his very dear little wife. Sir Henry, who had 1923 643 had brought out their lunch. Sir Henry, who is busily learning 1923 3201 Mr Philby has invited the King, Sir Henry, Ken and me to fly over to 1923 2003 little Arabs, a point I'm constantly bringing to Sir Henry's 1923 2618 College Party - I had met them lunching at Sir Henry's a few days 1923 1893 Sir Henry's accession to the High Commissionership 1923 2896 for Sir Henry's eloquence. Then they all laid wreaths 1923 2474 Marshal to sup with him. So I threw myself on Sir Henry's mercy 1923 3457 happened, except this (it didn't lose in Sir Henry's telling): he had 1923 1546 brought us to Baghdad where I found Capt Holt, Sir Henry's ADC 1923 1780 lunched and so did I, with Sir Henry on Sunday - Sir Henry's French is 1923 1781 not - Sir Henry's French is not good, I may say - and 1923 2711 Commissioner is impossible, good as Sir Herbert is 1923 1322 for the social irregularity. Air Marshall Sir Hugh and 1922 5008 28. A new planet has risen in the shape of Sir John 1922 6779 luncheon party, the Joyces, Capt Clayton and Sir John 1922 118 well-meaning and essentially ineffective. Sir John 1923 3183 than the last. He is an enchanting creature, Sir John 1923 3511 of the Star of India, Sir John covered with decorations, Colonel 1922 5027 north of Arbil. The question is whether with Sir John in 1923 3186 dinner and we talked uninterruptedly till 11. Sir John is 1922 5021 had the most enchanting evening for Sir John is delightful to talk to 1923 2359 party for Sir John is so nice and I talked to him all the 1923 3190 the last Sir John says: "Every flying officer knows he takes 1923 414 epresent, Sir John takes supreme command of all forces and 1922 114 to them. I had Sir John Davidson to tea yesterday and he stayed 1922 101 is out on a visit, Sir John Davidson, a retired Major General and M.P 1922 148 that you've come. Lots of friends for you, Sir John Maxwell, one 1922 5096 next the King. AFter we had talked a little, Sir John Salmond 1923 2620 pleasant evening. I love Sir John Salmond - he's jsut become engaged 1922 6162 Naqib! Sir John Salmond also was there and General Bulfin 1923 188 met Sir John Salmond and Air Commodore Boston on their 1923 2356 I dined with Sir John Salmond last week to meet Sir Edward 1922 5024 most profitable to Sir John! He said so himself anyway 1923 190 Sir John; I came home feeling quite cheerful and 1923 410 rather depleted. Nuri Pasha and Colonel Boston (Sir John's second in 1922 5407 who should roll up but the war correspondent, Sir Perceval 1922 5411 Sabih Bey. We had a valuable talk. Sir Perceval Phillips propounded his idea 1922 1501 of 'Iraq. It begins with us from the top, with Sir Percy 1922 4308 not to know of the arrests and of all that Sir Percy 1922 164 sources, for after Mr P. had got to Tehran, Sir Percy 1922 4920 Mahmud fell on his neck, his conversation with Sir Percy 1922 6541 Minister of Works, who has just been down with Sir Percy 1922 1518 settled all our dates and communicated with Sir Percy 1922 5189 Mahmud. All this I had passed on to Sir Percy 1922 4558 so as to have a good chunk of time under Sir Percy 1922 167 task. When I remember the generosity with which Sir Percy 1922 4144 by himself and Sir Percy, he could take no step. Sir Percy 1923 1030 there was a terrific dinner party in honour of Sir Percy 1923 1663 and friendly, much more conversable than Sir Percy 1923 379 I wonder if you have see Sir Percy 1923 1129 my part in the business, which was simply this: Sir Percy 1922 236 Sir Percy - and often gets over a difficulty simply 1923 946 We are overwhelmed by farewell entertainments to Sir Percy - he, poor 1922 1562 hear the news and telephone to Sir Percy - my telephone was out of 1922 1102 Sir Percy - I do hope he'll accept it. Captain 1923 82 influences. I told Sir Percy about it next day, he entirely approved 1922 2146 he come in and see Sir Percy afterwards? and what did I think of it 1922 3374 back. Sir Percy agreed - I didn't; but however, having a 1922 222 quite comfortably in May. But Sir Percy agrees to let me fall in with 1922 2891 tiresome above board. He now sends straight to Sir Percy all the 1922 5119 the first 3 hours of the morning preparing for Sir Percy an 1922 4504 This Sunday morning while I'm writing to you, Sir Percy and 1922 5117 conference at the office at which he and Sir Percy and 1922 2538 Sir Percy and lots of ministers and people came to 1922 1585 with Sir Percy and lots of people to call - and at 4 I 1922 2716 all came to see Sir Percy and me - I need not tell you what kind of 1922 2165 morning, and told Sir Percy and me that he and the King had arrange 1922 1707 living free of charge. So I went to Sir Percy and said I thought the 1923 548 Feb 7 and Mother's. I'm so glad you have feted Sir Percy and that 1922 307 replied that I couldn't possibly leave Sir Percy and that I thought 1922 1287 really the only link between Sir Percy and the general public and I 1922 248 I was ill, but so did Sir Percy and the C in C (with whom I'm now warm 1922 2011 Sir Percy and Gen Fraser taking the salute. I got 1922 156 matter of fact Sir Percy and Haddad Pasha both got the whole series 1923 1158 'Iraq Army. Sir Percy and I sat on either side of the King at 1922 1053 But both Sir Percy and I think that the country as a whole is 1922 802 On Friday morning Sir Percy and I went to a very sad ceremony, the 1922 1077 some time past letters have been passing between Sir Percy and Ibn 1922 4135 it ws successfully over. Before it was done Sir Percy and Mr 1922 1950 etc etc. I went to the office, told Sir Percy anything 1923 3412 himself up after Sir Percy arrived even before, I think. I like him 1923 858 Sir Percy arrived safely on the 31st. Next day 1922 5300 was 5. So it should have been, but when Sir Percy arrived, he found 1922 6516 who went with Sir Percy as the King's representative told me that 1922 4165 enclose a copy - it is Sir Percy at his very best and you can't beat 1922 6168 to have Sir Percy away when so many things are happening 1922 1709 easily. Sir Percy backed me and that is how it has been 1922 3292 done now - I must write another memo for Sir Percy before I go to bed 1922 3402 the reason why. Sir Percy brougth down this news; he flew up to 1923 2136 approved by Sir Henry so it goes to Sir Percy by this mail. It's 1922 6513 Sir Percy came back on the 11th with treaties all 1922 1177 convinced that Sir Percy can bring everything to a satisfactory 1922 5581 office at 8.15 I found Sir Percy champing for a draft of a telegram he 1922 2896 else! Last week Sir Percy consented to send home positively the last 1922 3287 if Sir Percy consents, provisional Director of 1923 1082 fortnight. The entertainments to Sir Percy continue. Yesterday we 1922 4795 Ja'far Abu Timman, the implacable extremist whom Sir Percy deported 1922 5259 finger, and if we help them, as Sir Percy did the other day, and break 1922 6748 I went straight to the office and finding Sir Percy engaged had a 1922 1341 disobey the summons came in to Sir Percy first to ask his advice as to 1922 977 terms. Which Heaven forbid! but all honour to Sir Percy for having 1922 6786 On the 2nd Sir Percy gave a state dinner to the King and the 1922 6165 Tonight Sir Percy goes off to the Persian Gulf to meet Ibn 1923 1077 function and Haji Naji's sorrow at parting with Sir Percy goes to my 1922 2918 have difficulty in finding a third Kingdom. What Sir Percy haas 1922 4448 inquired what had happened since his operation. Sir Percy had 1922 1171 was up to us to take action. Yesterday Sir Percy had a perfectly 1922 4470 after they had gone. The fifth day, Sir Percy had bidden me tell 1922 4595 the Sir Percy had done, and promised that he would ask 1922 4717 that Sir Percy had done? Our next excitement was the 1923 874 job for us (Archaeological Dept). Sir Percy had him to lunch and 1922 2547 the whole thing exceedingly difficult again. Sir Percy has 1922 3588 also mail day Sir Percy has decided to pay no visits in the 1922 4269 public affairs he must either ratify what Sir Percy has done during 1922 1045 to meet them. Very nice they were. Sir Percy has just been in to 1922 4221 of the credit. Sir Percy has never made a mistak, either in 1922 2163 However, Sir Percy has plenty 1923 340 very soothing. My pony is lame but Sir Percy has put his polo ponies 1922 4171 of fact Sir Percy has saved the situation and he has given 1922 3466 treaty. Sir Percy has sent an admirable telegram home 1922 3995 been driven out, and Sir Percy has written to Ibn Sa'ud warning him 1922 1162 Mr Cornwallis and Sir Percy have tried to find ways for him to get 1923 1053 Municipality gave a tea party to Sir Percy in the Maude Garden - the 1922 1079 continuous with the 'Iraq. Sir Percy is anxious to arange a treaty 1922 4506 Sir Percy is asking him to endorse all he has done 1922 6235 But truly the Residency is intolerable when Sir Percy is away. Lady 1923 832 Sir Percy is coming by this air mail and should be 1922 1188 in the melting pot. Sir Percy is obviously immensely relieved that 1922 226 and with Mr Garbett away Sir Percy is short-handed, but apart from my 1922 6285 Otherwise it has been a fortnight of few events. Sir Percy is still 1922 6422 December 7. Sir Percy is still dallying in the Persian Gulf, not 1923 1189 Last week Sir Percy left - a very moving farewell. All the 1922 4600 appointments made by the Cabinet in being. Sir Percy left it at that 1922 4273 either Faisal or Sir Percy must go 1922 4209 Sir Percy not to begin hostilities. There might be a 1922 505 menace about which I've told Father. Sir Percy observed mildly today 1922 3477 enemies! Sir Percy observed that since Faisal was a 1922 5308 know what it's about." Sir Percy observed that this was the English 1922 314 I didn't tell Sir Percy of Mr C's offer. I think he counts on 1923 1054 King came also and presented Sir Percy on behalf of the town with a 1923 423 much easier commerce than Sir Percy on these occasions, and oh! the 1922 3894 much alarmed and I've urged Sir Percy once more to let the King try 1922 4927 very pronounced - we might 'ave it; however Sir Percy persuaded him 1922 2904 from a foreigner. Sir Percy pointed out that a British irrigation 1922 6425 round directly Sir Percy put the matter to him, but what an amazing 1922 1063 over to Jerusalem if Sir Percy requests him to do so - but this had 1922 5304 of. At last Sir Percy said "What about the treaty?" The Naqib 1922 467 heard yet what passed. Sir Percy said that he seemed to regard the 1922 2888 with the King, wasn't it? It did some good. Sir Percy saw him 1922 4042 H.M. had written a remarkably silly letter to Sir Percy saying that 1922 1734 treaty. I conceived the luminous idea that Sir Percy should be asked 1922 6520 treaty is on exactly the lines that Sir Percy stipulated. I was glad 1922 3829 Churchill adopts the scheme Sir Percy sugested. And we wait knowing 1922 2661 at once apprehended. At the same time Sir Percy telegraphed to 1922 5512 night - Sir Percy telephoned it to me just before dinner 1922 5974 urged on Sir Percy that we shouldn't allow the Turks the 1922 1201 Sir Percy thinks that I'm some help to him in his 1922 427 irresistible. Sir Percy thinks the dynasty won't go, in which case 1922 4906 I wonder what will be the next move with Yasin. Sir Percy thinks very 1922 4635 for the way he has been treated. He was to see Sir Percy this evening 1923 1096 very moving saying goodbye to Sir Percy though I myself shall see him 1922 3669 7 I went as usual to Sir Percy to give my report of happenings in the 1922 2568 However in another telegram I.S. begs Sir Percy to meet him somewhere 1922 5788 is gong off with Sir Percy to Bahrain to meet Ibn Sa'ud and I expect 1922 4044 definitely released from it. Sir Percy told me that he intended to 1922 3837 interview with the High Commissioner. Sir Percy told me to interview 1922 2026 the rebellion two years ago. Sir Percy told me to look after the King 1922 2129 I'm going to present to Sir Percy tomorrow 1923 179 reports for the mail and preparing things which Sir Percy wants to 1922 2665 telegram ran quickly through the town! Sir Percy was delighted 1922 6517 is finished, that Sir Percy was magnificent and that Ibn Sa'ud is 1922 3009 Anglo-Arab club. Sir Percy was there and was perfectly delighful to 1922 3683 I told Sir Percy what I thought and sat tight. Not for long 1922 6571 Sunday afternoon writing a long memorandum for Sir Percy which 1922 1350 for the moderates - and Sir Percy who has handled it with the greatest 1922 1737 Sir Percy who raised no objection, so I've told 1922 4274 With that I took him up to Sir Percy who told him that it was his 1923 21 Anyhow, Sir Percy will be there to state the facts. He is 1922 1672 the debates on the treaty. I think Sir Percy will have to give them a 1922 54 away. I myself think his work very good and Sir Percy will miss his 1922 695 that I can save time by going by air. Sir Percy would arrange it for 1922 1146 Tuesday and talk about it. I think Sir Percy would be glad if I 1922 945 be possible to go by air if Sir Percy would like me to stay here as 1922 217 And now about our plans. Sir Percy would like me to go away as late 1922 2694 told time and again that Sir Percy would refuse to send a resolution 1923 1057 following motto: Sir Percy Cox Baghdad thanks. Wasn't it touching - 1923 1052 from the decisiveness of Sir Percy. Did I tell you that the 1922 3352 day and made a memorandum with a map for Sir Percy. I haven't the 1922 4802 instantly came across to show it to Sir Percy. Mr C and I went back 1922 2590 for Sir Percy. You will see that I've dealt faithfully 1923 1620 Goodbye dearest family. I must write a word to Sir Percy. Your very 1922 4539 home. (I was negotiating on behalf of Sir Percy). As gentle a little 1922 6501 drawn up for Sir Percy, an appreciation of the present political 1922 4150 vain and Sir Percy, came back extremely sad that he hadn't 1923 1489 farewell from Sir Percy, dear old thing, and I've written to him 1923 910 naturally knew nothing about the quarrel and Sir Percy, equally 1922 4144 suggested by himself and Sir Percy, he could take no step. Sir Percy 1923 3488 would. Nigel, Bernard and Ken all agree with me. Sir Percy, on these 1922 3991 entirely to Sir Percy, onto what looks uncommonly like firm 1922 5534 Sir Percy, putting Naji Suwaidi in the forefront of 1922 2563 come out quite straight, it wil be up to Sir Percy, that great weaver 1922 1181 foolish. This is all private of course. Sir Percy, that great master 1922 5305 perfectly blank. "Have you got it?" said Sir Percy, turning to Saiyid 1922 4781 it. The question is what Yasin's mind is. Sir Percy, who had been 1923 1087 Sir Percy, Sir Henry, the A.V.M. and Col Slater 1922 5409 evactuation of 'Iraq. I had him to lunch, at Sir Percy's 1923 1743 unexpectedly. than you so much for sending me Sir Percy's 1923 1999 Assyrian Levies. It was an old fault of Sir Percy's - we all knew it 1922 4357 believe that if the King refuses to accept Sir Percy's action the 1922 179 Arab world put together. With Sir Percy's approval I have written a 1922 4126 doubt arranged to take place at the hour of Sir Percy's audience, and 1922 6515 the King under Sir Percy's auspices. Sabih Bey, ex Minister of 1922 5434 to go. It was rather fun. I plumped 'Ali into Sir Percy's box 1922 5095 There were very few people. I went to Sir Percy's box and he put me 1922 4551 himself, to play the part. However that's Sir Percy's business 1922 4214 special copies of Sir Percy's communique forwarded to them, together 1922 4378 brilliant success of Sir Percy's coup given us internal stability than 1922 3467 advising Mr Churchill to give way and (since Sir Percy's formula was 1922 4319 heel. Sir Percy's greatest triumph has been with the two 1923 342 a moment. And as Sir Percy's groom is in love with Marie (fortunately 1922 192 tied, by Sir Percy's orders, till after Mr Churchill's speech 1922 4554 He is Sir Percy's own choice, he was here for a year and a 1922 4553 Sir Percy's second in command and ultimate successor 1922 4128 It was now Sir Percy's turn to get busy. He waited until the 1922 1050 developments of the day and hear Sir Percy's views. It's deeply 1922 5893 himself ratehr shelved since Sir Percy's vigourous action in August 1923 1668 remarkable change. If we haven't Sir Percy's wisdom, neither have we 1922 111 been back at the office. We're delighted with Sir Percy's GCMG 1922 6366 for I was mentioned by Sir Reginald Wingate. I didn't know the the 1922 2370 the King gave an immense dinner party - Coxes, Sir T 1922 2371 Fraser, RAF etc etc. I sat opposite H.M. between Sir T. Fraser and 1922 5041 Sir Theodore - the King and Zaid were there. Sir 1922 5041 Sir Theodore - the King and Zaid were there. Sir Theodore is coming 1922 2412 Arabs.

It's 1923 2617 I dined with the Air Marshal to meet the Quetta Staff 1923 3511 of the Star of India, Sir John covered with decorations 1922 290 I've written to Hugo at Jerusalem, c/o Ronald Storrs 1923 1312 to meet Ronald Storrs and bride 1922 4688 By the way I had a letter from Ronald Storrs describing his dinner 1922 6707 mouth of a loop canal, the Abu Tibu (Father of Straw) on 1923 2983 said. Whereat they told me that General Burnett Stuart had 1923 3048 tell you that my nice little General Burnett Stuart is 1922 6064 a sad story. He was married to a niece of Lady Stuart of 1923 3089 That's one of the things General Burnett Stuart said 1923 3073 Stuart told me we had nothing to fear from Turkey - i.e 1923 3006 the way down with General Burnett Stuart who told me the most deeply 1923 2952 General Burnett Stuart, who has been out to have a look at us.

But I hope Subhi will manage things 1922 1752 co-operate with Capt Lloyd. Subhi Bey arrived about 3 weeks ago 1922 1751 Arab officer called Subhi Bey Khadra whom Haddad Pasha had selected to 1923 3497 Nur al Din is Ken's Sudanese servant - I hope he was duly impressed 1923 1918 the Shi'ah minister) and Shaikh Hasan Suhail whose tents you saw at 1922 3814 bring in the whole country. I'm flying 'Ali Sulaiman 1922 851 the Governor of Baghdad (Taufiq Khalidi) Hikmat Sulaiman 1922 2594 We've had another disaster in Sulaiman - lost two most gallant 1922 1183 Ramadi tomorrow to lunch with 'Ali Sulaiman - perhaps flight will 1922 3484 pro-mandate shaikhs, 'Ali Sulaiman and others, swearing that the King 1922 3391 Hakumdar (Governor) or Sulaiman and Rawanduz. Saiyid Taha isn't very 1922 3943 force, bless them, to fly 'Ali Sulaiman back to Ramadi yesterday, to 1922 2143 wasn't the end of the day. After dinner 'Ali Sulaiman came in to 1922 5398 Shaikh Ali Sulaiman from Ramadi (with H.E.'s concurrence). He 1922 2393 "Sulaiman ibn Daud." Sabih Bey was much pleased with this 1922 3102 in honour of the Euphrates shaikhs and 'Ali Sulaiman of the 1922 3774 power is Shaikh 'Ali Sulaiman of the Dulaim, whom more and more I 1922 1135 tomorrow with Shaikh Ali Sulaiman of the Dulaim to see the new Dulaim 1923 2689 Sulaiman of the Dulaim, our Dulaim of the Euphrates 1923 1595 ratified. However 'Ali Sulaiman of Rawadi, who is far the most 1922 2012 9 and half an hour later came in Shaikh Ali Sulaiman straight 1922 6203 ordered 'Ali Sulaiman to invite all the tribal leaders of the 'Iraq to 1922 5684 a single man of the 'Ali Sulaiman type will join it, and I won't ask 1922 5433 Mr Davidson in order to field H.M. and 'Ali Sulaiman whom I had 1922 4279 character than 'Ali Sulaiman, but wider knowledge of affairs. The 1923 285 Criminal Investigation Dept. that stalwart, Ali Sulaiman, summoned in 1923 2827 Sulaiman, the sturdy peasant shaikh whose word runs from 1922 3362 tell you about Qadir Bey. Qadir Bey is a Kurd of Sulaimani 1922 4534 at Sulaimani 1922 4935 of the 'Iraq and Kurdistan were one. He regarded Sulaimani 1922 3371 called, have kept out of the recent troubles in Sulaimani 1922 2857 regards the situation as grave. Meantime in Sulaimani 1922 5589 fantastic story of Shaikh Mahmud and Sulaimani (incidentally they've 1922 3055 Percy. Major Bourdillon flew to Sulaimani and discussed the whole 1922 433 Sulaimani and half the Turkish force - it only amounted t 1922 3714 the Kurds of Sulaimani and there I am completely on his side. And 1922 3060 job of governor of Sulaimani and Rawandaz under our guidance. It's a 1922 3892 frantic telegrams from Sulaimani asking for aeroplanes on the frontier 1922 4632 take up the Sulaimani burden and on the whole anxious to return to th 1922 5734 Shaikh Mahmud's comic opera continues its run in Sulaimani but there 1922 4414 Officer in the southernmost Sulaimani district of Halabja, has 1922 1202 I'm perfectly well and I shall go up to Sulaimani for a month in the 1922 3403 Sulaimani for the night and came back yesterday morning 1922 4361 Sulaimani frontiers against the Kamalists who are coming 1922 4924 out. As to taking over Sulaimani he expressed great diffidence, but 1922 4425 out. Sulaimani in itself doesn't matter much one way or the 1923 538 Sulaimani is going very ill. Shaikh Mahmud is in close 1922 5190 Noel lunched with me yesterday and returned to Sulaimani last 1922 4545 Sulaimani last year; he is the Political Officer of thef 1922 4964 Sulaimani politics. But as rogues go, Sh. Mahmud is a nic 1922 4419 up a Sulaimani republic under himself! But the present scheme 1922 3895 his hand to keep Sulaimani straight since it's clear we have no more 1922 5755 A deputation is coming down from Sulaimani to discuss the Kurdish 1922 4431 were to dive in from Sulaimani to Kirkuk it would be a very serious 1923 599 notables and clear out of Sulaimani town as he has been ordered to do 1922 4623 Sulaimani town the moment we left and demanded arms 1922 4951 set foot in Sulaimani until Karim Fatlah Bey who murdered Captains 1923 744 first written only a month after his return to Sulaimani vowing 1922 5223 For instance he learnt that Sulaimani was congratulating itself on the 1923 594 Sulaimani where things are at present going very ill 1922 3901 think we are. Incidentally all our officers in Sulaimani would be 1922 4954 the Zab Nahiyah! Whatever happens, the Sulaimani Division is bound to 1922 4382 relinquish the Rania corner of the Sulaimani Division; it's not great 1923 3462 the utmost secrecy; he flew over Sulaimani 150 ft from the ground 1922 4917 Sulaimani. He arrived in Baghdad from Kuwait on the 13th 1922 5179 Major Noel from Sulaimani. He motored and flew down on the 6th 1922 259 when I passed through on my way back from Sulaimani. I can 1922 4390 personnel from Sulaimani. It was impossible to tell how far the 1923 3466 health and couldn't understand why we had bombed Sulaimani. That's 1922 4616 Well now I'll tell you about Sulaimani. The result of putting in 1922 5032 Sulaimani. We took action finally but we took it at least 1922 893 now off on leave, Capt Beale who had flown from Sulaimani, and the 1923 2765 Shaikh Mahmud, who still hangs out sullenly in Sulaimani, has 1922 3925 Kamalists are definitely coming down into Sulaimani, not in great 1922 5188 the rest want you; but none of them, outside Sulaimani, want Shaikh 1923 3458 finally made up his mind that Shaikh Mahmud of Sulaimani, who had been 1922 6188 with regard to the Sultan is going to be of immense help to us here 1922 4994 he is the Sultan of Najd?) the King assembled the Najd pilgrims 1923 3358 Shaikh 'Addai of the Albul Sultan who is one of the people I like 1922 6207 deposition of the Sultan, his flight to us and King Husain's 1922 4995 was ready to resign the throne of Hijaz in the Sultan's 1923 624 a hideous Sumerian statue of a King of Lagash, about 3 ft high but 1922 5863 which adorn the lintel of the temple of the Sun. It was the fabled 1922 462 studiously held aloof. Nuri, as an enlightened Sunni (probably 1922 871 Shi'ah divines, well, it's a privilege. My Sunni guests, all of them 1923 3438 of ground, scrub and gardens, belonging to some Sunni saiyids 1922 1345 well educated Sunni, togetehr with a regiment of cavalry to prevent 1922 5819 Armoured Car and Supplies officers - we were a party of 25. I was 1922 835 Suq 'Ukadh is not a fitting place for the 1922 825 of my neighbours by suggesting that odes at the Suq 'Ukadh should in 1922 812 opening of the Suq 'Ukadh. The Suq 'Ukadh, I must tell you, was a 1922 812 opening of the Suq 'Ukadh. The Suq 'Ukadh, I must tell you, was a 1923 788 I've just read Susan Townley's book - what poor stuff, isn't it. How 1922 6312 of primary importance, but the authorized Naji Suwaidi 1922 636 Sasun Eff and Saiyid Husain Afnan while Naji Bey Suwaidi 1923 2142 Suwaidi (Minister of Justice) and his wife were also 1923 69 Suwaidi (Minister of Interior) and 'Abdul Latif Mandil 1922 2065 Suwaidi - also an advanced Nationalist of the Naji 1922 1677 knows for certain but that's my impression. Naji Suwaidi and 1922 2224 extremists and this morning I sent for Naji Suwaidi and asked 1922 2316 Now Naji Suwaidi and his lot have got to get going. I'm as 1922 1164 important people, Naji Suwaidi and the big Basrah man, 'Abdul Latif 1923 1843 week. On Monday we all dined with Naji Suwaidi at the 'Iraq Club; on 1923 1792 him at a dinner party given last night by Naji Suwaidi at the 'Iraq 1922 4182 waiting for news of the arrests, Naji Suwaidi came in. He is probably 1922 2982 of Bridge - that's when Ja'far, Nuri or Naji Suwaidi come, for 1922 2415 Yasin Pasha, Major Eadie and Naji Bey Suwaidi dropped in 1922 5534 Sir Percy, putting Naji Suwaidi in the forefront of the organization 1922 768 for extremists, I had a luncheon party for Yusuf Suwaidi last 1922 4979 Sasun Eff and Naji Suwaidi lunched with me today and we discussed 1922 2484 Naji Suwaidi to form a strong, moderate combine and that Naji 1922 6155 Suwaidi who is to go to the Interior, and Yasin Pasha 1923 460 played bridge with Yasin Pasha and Naji Suwaidi. It was amusing, only 1922 3523 Muhsin in at an early hour, with Naji Suwaidi, and told them the line 1922 5538 out of the Turk. As for Naji Suwaidi, he came to me the other day and 1922 1576 Naji Suwaidi, most reasonable about the whole matter 1922 1821 Suwaidi, who is an ardent Nationalist came in to see me 1922 5064 Suwaidi, whom failing Yasin he wanted in Interior, was 1922 5410 request, on Sunday 15th to meet Ja'far, Naji Suwaidi, Husain Afnan and 1922 425 in Switzerland, and the attraction of a luxurious life in 1922 4693 That was an enchanting photograph you sent me of Sybil Thorndike in 1922 4820 He asked Yasin whether since his return from Syria 1922 1587 told him all about 'Abdullah and Palestine and Syria 1922 3185 in life.

It entertains me. By 1923 666 North Syria and that everyone is longing for the return of 1922 1601 Saiyid husain came to dinner, and we talked of Syria and the Naqib's 1922 3178 concessions. He had come from Syria and though he wasn't very 1922 3434 Mesopotamia or Syria and Palestine. All trade had stopped. I asked 1922 2959 name of mandates in Syria and Palestine. Even without these examples 1922 946 long as I can.

Sir Edward and Sasun Eff got on 1922 1762 told in Syria. The French were incredibly foolish. They made 1923 1989 way via C'ple to Syria. They all come from the mountain block which 1923 470 Syria.

It represented 1922 3428 Syrian situation. Syria, says he, is economically dead. Syria was 1922 4566 Americans. The French would not let him enter Syria, so I don't 1922 1916 in Syria, though what form they will take I don't know 1923 2650 doing pretty badly in Syria, where the feeling against them grows 1923 389 Sa'ud, Palestine and Syria, where King Husain is not esteemed.

He ....... the idea of complete Syrian 1923 2038 Husain and Amin Kisbani (a nice Christian, a Syrian 1922 3355 French abondon the Syrian adventure 1922 3564 itself once and forever by combining the Syrian and Palestinian 1922 1665 management. However there's a new Syrian arrived on purpose to run 1922 3449 He also told us an amazing tale about Syrian banking - let me see if I 1922 4039 Cornwallis told stories of the Syrian campaign - I have seldom passed 1922 3695 week to dine with Asfar (the Syrian company promotor I told you about) 1923 1182 a Syrian desert Edmonton while Father is in a Trans 1922 3544 of excellent Syrian dishes. You get to hate food in this weather and 1922 4739 night I had a dinner party for Amir Raihani, the Syrian educated 1922 1628 1920 - the moving spirit from the Syrian end. We refused to let him 1922 4743 Amin Kasbani, a very nice Syrian in the King's household. We talked a 1922 3802 passed the Palestinian and Syrian mandates which are contrary to every 1922 3428 Syrian situation. Syria, says he, is economically dead 1923 2200 Syrian who is Director of Education here, Sata' Bey 1922 2499 Syrian who ws the King's tutor in C'ple and has now 1922 3458 with a cheque on the National Syrian Bank. You have to pay it into 1922 3420 Capt Clayton and one Dr Asfar who is a Syrian Christian of a very well 1922 2190 Ba'albeki - and Safwat Pasha, a Syrian, for 25 years an instructor at 1922 2194 say. A Syrian, he knows nothing of the 'Iraq and can't give 1922 3438 adjustments can sell cheaper in Syria than the Syrians can sell at 1922 1499 knowledge between a man like de Caix and the Syrians that exists 1923 1285 doubt. Meantime General Weygand is urging the Syrians to do 1922 4648 Syrians would rather have the Turks than the French 1922 2502 appointments all being given to Syrians. The women fold were very 1922 1920 in anxiety which is just what suits the Syrians. You can't, as the 1922 3061 the dark. I think it not improbable that Saiyid Taha 1922 6118 and the Turk for Kurdish independence, and S.Taha 1922 4896 Staff. When Yasin heard of this he wrote to Taha and 1922 5403 and Capt Clayton. The others played bridge while Taha and 1922 3390 Saiyid Taha is his name - with a view to getting him to 1922 3395 Saiyid Taha is that if he accepts he will have Simko behind 1922 3391 (Governor) or Sulaimain and Rawanduz. Saiyid Taha isn't very 1922 5402 To go back; on Sat 14th I had Yasin and Taha to dinner, with the 1922 6125 Taha was in Baghdad when I was at Arbil. He is going 1923 1237 once so Saiyid Taha was sent up on Friday and the two up there told 1923 1251 don't think Saiyid Taha will last - it doesn't matter perhaps very 1922 6121 to turn the Turks out of Rawanduz where S. Taha would 1922 6117 Taha. Simko is the Kurdish chieftain who has been 1922 4893 time to come. His brother Taha, also a soldier and now employed in 1922 1624 and his brother Taha, both arrived since I left. Yasin is a man who 1922 3059 brigand, Saiyid Taha, over the frontier to see if he will take on the 1922 5741 Meantime Simko and his henchman, Saiyid Taha, who have recently been 1923 1220 Qaimmaqam, a pleasant phibusterer called Saiyid Taha, whom all the 1922 5383 nice brother Taha, Sabih Bey (Minister of Works) and me.

Sir 1922 185 publishing the electoral law was that Talib blocked it. He frequently 1922 175 espoused the cause of Talib. Talib was a rogue and 'Abdullah is a 1922 175 espoused the cause of Talib. Talib was a rogue and 'Abdullah is a 1923 256 Tall 'Afar and then go down to Hatra to be present at 1922 534 from Tall Abu Habbah, which was Sippar, and as we came 1922 535 onto a wonderful mound called Tall Dair. It was completely covered 1922 386 the newly appointed Governor of Baghdad, Taufiq al Khalidi. He is a 1922 854 Staff. Muhi al Din, Taufiq and Hikmat are all men of singular breadth 1922 667 (quite rightly supplanted, Taufiq is the more capable man) has 1922 669 Taufiq told him he would be a great support to him 1922 407 Municipality doesn't however matter much, since Taufiq Bey 1922 5391 of Saiyid Mahmud, the President of the party, Taufiq Bey 1922 5322 Husain in and gave him a tal king to, and today Taufiq Bey 1922 2297 acceptance, Taufiq Bey (Interior) said he agreed the question was 1922 5706 to heart talk with Taufiq Bey (Minister of Justice) who is one of the 1922 5394 but we dug a number of stilettos into Taufiq Bey with the 1922 1344 representative the new Minister of Interior Taufiq Bey, a sensible 1922 2682 Who should it be but Taufiq Bey, Minister of Interior!

He is Minister in Tehran, or was, and is now 1922 164 from other sources, for after Mr P. had got to Tehran, Sir Percy 1922 1989 Latif Thanayan, you don't know him. His nephew 'Abdullah, an 1922 1990 young lawyer was the only other guest. The Thanayans 1922 5041 Sir Theodore - the King and Zaid were there. Sir Theodore is 1922 5041 Sir Theodore - the King and Zaid were there. Sir Theodore is coming 1922 2412 Arabs.

Wilsons Mr Thomson and Air Commodore Charlton dined wiht me 1923 1914 I must tell you that wasn't all - on Sunday Mr Thomson and I 1923 1640 in the afternoon for a long talk and he and Mr Thomson and I 1923 1963 Gillans, Mr Thomson and I dined with Mr Cornwallis - rather dull, I 1923 1984 Rauf Chadirji was my informant. Mr Thomson and I dined on Thursday 1923 922 Thomson and I rode down to tea with Haji Naji on Sunday 1923 729 or two others including Mr Thomson and Mr Davidson. And after tea 1923 735 It's very nice having Mr Thomson back - he has just returned after a 1923 1692 household fortunately. You remember Mr Thomson dismissed my rogue of 1923 1428 as I know that Mr Thomson has told my servants that I'm coming I 1923 1601 A very sad thing is that Mr Thomson is going away. The Indian Govt 1923 1848 Thomson leaves next weel. I shall miss him dreadfully 1923 1775 Capt Clayton and Mr Thomson to meet him. Pere Anastase too - they're 1923 2092 October 3. I dined with Col. Slater and Mr Thomson to meet the H.C 1923 1573 near 4 when I rode out with Mr Thomson to see Haji Naji - I need not 1923 1934 Thomson. He is such a darling. He's very sorry to go too 1923 149 Political Officer, Mr Thomson, who had given the order for its 1923 1901 Naqib's son, invited Mr Thomson, Ken and me to dine in the Turjmaniyah 1922 3330 glass my face was scarlet all over like Miss Thomson's used to 1922 4693 an enchanting photograph you sent me of Sybil Thorndike in 1922 5474 he has saved the overrunning of C'ple and Thrace by 1922 6690 I must tell you, is also one of the Fatlah.

Thus 1922 5685 them to do so.

We have recently 1922 5261 latter will cry out that the Turks are better than these tyrants of 1923 252 if the Turks are bluffing we're bluffing to match; if they're 1922 6074 that we shall hand it back to the Turks are causing much perturbation 1922 3962 Turks are coming down to fight us and to do their best 1923 1721 negotiations with the Turks are going 1922 5957 towers across the Khabur whom the Turks are specially bent on hurling 1922 5031 Turks are the only people who have got any. That's why 1923 515 And no doubt the Turks are well aware that there's a general 1922 6759 Turks aren't going to be any use to them - indeed the 1923 2041 devil or the Turks as soon as the treaty terminated if not before 1922 2859 are in close touch with the Turks at Rawandaz. The RAF has done 1922 600 dishonest and if the Turks attack (as they might do any day) we shall 1922 4651 re-occupation by the Turks before it finally emerges triumphant, as in 1923 1885 wife and sister in law of the P.M., Turks both of them, but the sister 1923 2344 run the Kirkuk elections. They're Turks by birth which makes their 1922 6111 with us from the first and if the Turks came back he would have to 1922 602 Incidentally I may add that if the Turks do attack I shall not go on 1922 5968 - what can the Turks do? They follow their secular habit and go in 1923 247 that direction. If the Turks don't send down another Army Corps or 1922 6759 aren't going to be any use to them - indeed the Turks have 1923 2196 to take part in. The Turks have a very bad time before them and 1922 4628 pro-Turk. But the Turks have all gone away from Rania and retired to 1922 3431 barriers. The Turks have completely stopped the passage of goods 1922 4756 time he spoke he burst out with: "The Turks held my country for 600 1922 5264 reasonably answer: because the return of the Turks here is not a 1922 5904 the treaty and declare against the Turks if they get any assurance 1922 6170 are going to take up with the Turks in defence of the 'Iraq frontiers 1922 6776 with the Turks in order to make a niche to us for not 1922 4059 charge of military transport for the Turks in the Anatolian railway 1922 4529 which won't be interested in letting the Turks in. You may wonder why 1922 5930 the battle was off! That the Turks meant to force the tribes to 1923 2143 women are Turks of C'ple and are rather depaysees here.

But they are 1923 1059 We have turned the Turks out of our Eastern frontier - a very 1922 6121 us and offered to turn the Turks out of Rawanduz where S. Taha would 1922 2088 when we left and the Turks returned would betray to them men who had 1923 739 of nearly two hours. Things look hopeful. The Turks seem to 1922 6443 Lausanne but the Turks seem to be busy cutting their own throats as 1922 3118 roads, and then the Turks smelt a plot whenever two or three gathered 1922 4648 Syrians would rather have the Turks than the French. there would 1922 4647 great deal rather have the Turks than us plus Zionism, just as the 1922 5974 urged on Sir Percy that we shouldn't allow the Turks the advantageous 1922 5758 Turks the Kurdish question would be nothing but a huge 1923 966 defence of the 'Ira against the Turks was posted up in the Kadhimain 1922 5266 gone too far not to go further. The moment the Turks were 1922 5947 a twindle, it was true the Turks were doing all they could, but with 1922 5960 tale was this: the Turks were pressing them by all known means to 1922 3726 Turks which in the intervals of tennis, the King had 1922 3075 from throwing in their lot with the 300 or so of Turks who 1923 2963 impression that we have nothing to fear from the Turks who 1922 4748 did not think the Turks would move down here in force, but we might 1922 2087 betrayed to the Turks Arabs who had served the British and tomorrow 1922 4655 possibility of the return of the Turks. "If they come back" he said 1922 5481 hand back Mosul to the Turks. Every indication that we have (and 1922 431 peace on our northern frontier - peace with the Turks. For the moment 1922 3885 finally routed by the Turks. Now Simko, brigand as he is, is a 1922 5583 result from the recession of Mosul to the Turks. So I proceeded to 1922 3112 they didn't trust the Turks. There they sat and smoked and eat ices 1922 5258 them crying to the Turks. Unless we help them, they won't move a 1923 512 the Turks." Zaid is doing very well; he is not making war 1922 4809 Turks! and we constantly found ourselves heading into 1923 208 war with the Turks! It would be immensely interesting. Meantime I 1922 4619 have anything more to do with the Turks! Shaikh Qadir himself sends 1922 4528 make a Kurdish wad between the 'Iraq and the Turks, a wad 1923 745 that he would live and die in the service of the Turks, and the rest 1923 3459 busily carrying on intrigues with the Turks, interspersed with offers 1922 4644 back Syria to the Turks, minus the Lebanon, if they can manage to keep 1923 267 now held by the Turks, such as Nisibin and Mardin, and that on both 1922 6094 thanks to the Turks, were inimitable.

I didn't know the the 1922 5516 Winston - this is also deeply confidential! He's as 1923 2495 by side with Winston and Lloyd George - both horrid people to go 1922 6178 India, as I believe.

Mr C produced it and Yasin 1922 2229 undertake to do all that was possible with Yasin - a good stroke, Sir 1922 4469 generals - Ja'far, Nuri and Yasin - but I stayed on for a long time 1922 2218 politics much but sparred with Yasin about his having been chosen a 1922 2788 down out of hand. In the second place Yasin al Hashimir has been 1922 2426 exactly his feeling - he had never understood Yasin and 1922 6579 provision law and that before Yasin and I went into it he should come 1922 4292 I dined with Yasin and Mr Cornwallis that evening and we sat on the 1923 2583 Sasun, Yasin and Naji. J.M. Wilson took me. It was quite 1923 1793 - Bernard, Ken, Mr Drower and I, with Sabih Bey, Yasin and Nuri 1922 5402 To go back; on Sat 14th I had Yasin and Taha to dinner, with the 1922 4271 be the situation if he took the latter course." Yasin answered 1923 67 to serve his country in this manner. Yasin chimed in and I've since 1922 4864 letter, as Yasin condoned it, as the King condones it - merely 1922 4817 agreed that unless Yasin could give a satisfactory explanation he was 1922 5537 whether Yasin doesn't secretly think that he could get better 1922 5063 have got a cabinet to his taste. But Yasin failed us and him and Naji 1922 3870 heads of the tribes" and he was furious with Yasin for temporizing 1922 2220 they had all gone Mr C. told me that Yasin had confided to him that 1922 4870 salvation of my country" which was what Yasin had gone out of his way 1922 4762 Yasin has accepted a great part of our thoughts this 1922 5064 Suwaidi, whom failing Yasin he wanted in Interior, was anathema to the 1922 4896 the General Staff. When Yasin heard of this he wrote to Taha and 1922 4849 which would be advantageous to both. If Yasin held H.M.G. in such 1922 4855 We know what took place between them. H.M. gave Yasin his quietus 1922 4831 went on to ask Yasin his views on the treaty. Yasin replied that the 1922 4887 able to use him.

The second 1922 4853 the appointment of Yasin must be definitely abandoned. Mr C. left 1923 1676 to show that it couldn't work. I haven't tackled Yasin on the subject 1922 4287 of the 'Iraq will probably depend on whether Yasin prevails. If he 1922 4856 and Yasin replied "Oh yes I know, I couldn't take office 1922 4831 went on to ask Yasin his views on the treaty. Yasin replied that the 1922 4249 After we had talked a little about Muntafiq, Yasin said 1922 4264 completely different. Yasin said "Yes, I know. someone comes to him 1922 4825 King continued: "Have you written to him?" Yasin said he had, on an 1922 4821 he had been in touch with political parties. Yasin swore that he had 1922 4277 I believe Yasin to be the Man of Destiny. He has greater 1922 4281 believes that he can yoke Yasin to himself and use him, and that he 1922 4745 his position of member of the Turkish Senate! Yasin was 1922 4814 afternoon, and his great hope that Yasin was going to prove a tower of 1922 4777 to return to Yasin. The King had decided, if Yasin was prepared 1922 4794 ago by Yasin when he was in Nasiriyah. Now this Rashid is an 1922 4820 it very skilfully. He asked Yasin whether since his return from Syria 1922 4813 kept me to tell me of his interview with Yasin which he had had that 1922 6529 at Paris. Yasin who understands English but speaks little, was 1922 2424 talks I've ever had with him. We began about Yasin whom I 1922 4288 does, Mesopotamian history will repeat itself; Yasin will be the Maire 1922 4283 I think Yasin will climb into the King's favour by apparent 1922 1623 to come yesterday - Wed.

It was most delightful 1923 798 was the only European - Sabih Bey, Yasin Pasha and the King's 1922 6527 Yasin Pasha and Mr Cornwallis. G.C. Hearson was most 1923 460 played bridge with Yasin Pasha and Naji Suwaidi. It was amusing, only 1922 6195 much better than the last. Yasin Pasha goes to Public Works so I 1922 4239 been long in my office on Monday morning when Yasin Pasha was 1922 4985 R. spoke both in English and Arabic. Yasin Pasha was there, among 1922 6155 Suwaidi who is to go to the Interior, and Yasin Pasha who will be 1922 5536 on is still Yasin Pasha. But what I don't know (neither do they) 1923 318 came to lunch on Sunday to meet my Minister (Yasin Pasha) 1923 826 Minister, Yasin Pasha, also presented himself. You see the King 1922 6564 and poured steadily all day. My Minister, Yasin Pasha, came to see me 1922 5382 Ja'far at his farmhouse. The party was Nuri, Yasin Pasha, his very 1922 3865 combined with the real desire of Yasin Pasha, the Mutasarrif, to deal 1923 1673 Drower, Adviser to Justice. My Minister, Yasin Pasha, tried to rush 1922 2415 Cornwallis, Yasin Pasha, Major Eadie and Naji Bey Suwaidi dropped 1922 4742 Din, second son of the Naqib, Yasin Pasha, Saiyid Husain Afnan, and 1922 4906 I wonder what will be the next move with Yasin. Sir Percy thinks very 1922 4777 Well, to return to Yasin. The King had decided, if Yasin was prepared 1922 4819 between Mr C, the King and Yasin, before dinner. The King conducted 1922 4788 the King sent for Yasin, gave him the treaty - which he already knew a 1922 4882 to his contention, that he could not emply Yasin, much as he 1922 2420 Joyces and Mr C had gone away, Naji, Yasin, Major Eadie and I played a 1922 4903 Pasha in C'ple at once toed the Angora line and Yasin's application 1922 4846 Yasin's attitude he could not give him high office 1922 2225 for his help. I told him I thought Yasin's attitude was of importance 1922 5404 I talked in the garden - I liked him very much. Yasin's manner is 1922 4781 it. The question is what Yasin's mind is. Sir Percy, who had been 1922 5613 Shammar of 'Ajil al Yawar are in that neighbourhood and will, we hope 1922 3340 Yawar. 'Ajil (I've told you about him before but 1923 3524 had in 'Ajil al Yawar, the greatest of all the 'Iraq shaikhs and a man 1923 2825 'Ajil al Yawar, 6 ft 4 of huge body, long fine hands holding a 1922 5829 al Yawar's brother, Hatrush, and a young Inspector of 1922 4568 for the last few months in the Hijaz, Asia, Yemen and Aden, urging 1923 170 afternoon and evening talking to Major Yetts - you remembered the 1922 1794 Yetts afterwards. He is now Adviser at Nasiriyah and 1923 3154 all outstanding letters. Then I had Major Yetts and his 1922 2555 Major Yetts for encouraging a movement against the Arab Govt 1922 2045 Yetts has greater knowledge of the tribes and 1922 2044 Division which Major Yetts has pointed out, quite rightly. Major 1923 3157 Slater with whom the Yettses are staying - Major Yetts is now in 1922 1803 afford to have very many of them. Major Yetts is the best provincial 1922 1798 King in which Major Yetts spoke his mind, it has been agreed that the 1922 1723 Major Yetts this morning. People like Major Yetts understand 1922 2095 Yetts to resign and on that day I should resign also 1922 1723 Major Yetts this morning. People like Major Yetts understand the 1922 4234 picnic. Major Yetts was there, up from Nasiriyah (he had dined wiht 1922 2795 workig in complete agreement with Major Yetts. Thirdly, all the 1922 2091 for Major Yetts, in the days when I had upheld the Arab cause 1922 2041 acceptance of all the vicious gossip about Major Yetts, now Adviser at 1922 2735 Interior to Major Yetts, telling him that the King and his Govt 1922 1715 Major Yetts, up from Nasiriyah wher he is now advisor, dined 1922 2793 Yetts, Capt Clayton and Major Murray. All the 1922 2092 there had been only 3 people on my side, Major Yetts, Major 1922 3864 Major Yetts' extreme tact and great influence over the tribes 1923 3157 Col. Slater with whom the Yettses are staying - Major Yetts is now in 1922 6048 like a Yorkshire farmer, and on the Assistant Adviser, Capt Alba 1922 3583 again. The climate of Yorkshire isn't suited for unexpected bathes 1923 3086 Now would you like to hand this on to the Yorkshire Post or any other 1922 5892 rather a friend of mine. He is one of the Young Arab group and feels 1922 5683 of Young Arabs whom the country distrusts profoundly and 1922 5820 fortunate in the company of the O.C., Capt Young, an exceptionally 1922 3731 of which the author is patently Major Young, God curse him- 1922 5711 capable Christian, Yusuf Ghanimah, to help him. Yusuf is 1922 4189 Yusuf was one of the prime leaders of the rebellion of 1922 5711 exceedingly capable Christian, Yusuf Ghanimah, to help him. Yusuf is 1922 768 As for extremists, I had a luncheon party for Yusuf Suwaidi last 1922 471 there today and ride along the tails of the new Yusufiyah 1922 530 the Yusufiyah is one of the oldest canals in the world. It wa 1922 547 'Azzad, after which we motored down the Yusufiyah nearly to Ctesiphon 1922 528 Mahmudiah canal takes off from the Yusufiyah where we crossed the 1922 521 you I went out with Mr Thomson to see the Yusufiyah Canal. We had a 1922 6078 Wilson and I motored to Arbil, lunching at the Zab 1922 6070 between Mosul and the Zab - he was inspecting roads and bridges. The 1922 4954 the Zab Nahiyah! Whatever happens, the Sulaimani 1922 5418 King that night, a family party with the Amir Zaid 1923 3134 afternoon I rode out to see the Arab Army polo - Zaid 1923 588 myself that if we only leave Zaid alone, he and the northern Kurds 1922 4730 found him enchanted at the prospect of having Zaid and 1923 1754 with the King, a family party, he and I and Zaid and 1923 2845 the King brought Zaid and an A.D.C. and one of the great Dulaim 1923 3274 Zaid and an A.D.C. Zaid was enchanted and he proved 1922 5147 the trees and while we eat it, Zaid and Mr Cornwallis turned up 1923 3286 joined Nigel and Zaid at the Maude Bridge and motored to Mahmudiyeh 1922 5276 I took Sidi Zaid breakfasting at 'Aqar Quf today. Mr Joyce and a 1923 2897 dear Zaid for the King and the A.M. and all the British 1923 3321 for Ken's car broke down and Zaid had to give him a lift. Nigel is a 1923 258 and between them I don't doubt they'll do well. Zaid has 1923 1757 politics, Zaid having just come back from there. He is a 1922 4663 His youngest brother Zaid is arriving from the Hijaz this week; King 1923 260 and discretion. Zaid is besides a darling boy with the most 1923 393 interest in therefore pardonable. Meantime Zaid is doing very well at 1923 512 the Turks." Zaid is doing very well; he is not making war at all 1923 1768 just come back. Zaid is the best of them all; it's wicked to let him 1922 5093 while I told Zaid of all the battles that had been fought there 1922 5132 Meantime Mr Cornwallis and Zaid sloped off to see it they could not 1923 593 and Arbil were in his hand, I would let Zaid tackle 1922 5087 the day, the Joyces and I, by taking the Amir Zaid to 1923 2133 the 7th, and I had Sidi Zaid to dinner - I think I told you that and 1923 409 the north helping Zaid to organize an irregular gendarmerie, we're 1923 2662 don't know whether the sending of Zaid to London is going to 1923 3353 much too much for her and gave up after lunch. Zaid took me, Ken's 1922 5277 (Arab Army) came too. I'm free to say that Zaid was by 1923 3274 Zaid and an A.D.C. Zaid was enchanted and he proved the most 1923 2535 of the sports. Zaid was there on Friday and H.M. and all the 1923 253 earnest we hold a losing hand. Zaid went to Mosul on Sunday 28. I 1922 5569 bidding me to dinner. Ja'far, Nuri and Zaid were the party. We had a 1922 5041 Sir Theodore - the King and Zaid were there. Sir Theodore is coming 1923 1893 accession to the High Commissionership. I sat by Zaid who 1922 4666 him to England to be educated. Whether Zaid will go I don't know 1923 524 to stay here and break with his father. I think Zaid would rather die 1923 1639 last letter, with the Amir Zaid. I haven't seen Zaid yet but Captain 1923 2097 with me tonight for I have a dinner for Zaid. But I'm going to try 1923 2093 and the Amir Zaid. Capt Clayton and his sister were also there - 1922 5572 teaching the Amir Zaid. He is an extremely nice boy, I like him more 1923 1639 last letter, with the Amir Zaid. I haven't seen Zaid yet but Captain 1922 4967 I'll tell you whom I do like and that's Zaid. I sat by him last night 1923 3444 irritated by these proceedings, nearly went for Zaid. It was a 1922 4861 which he invited us all last night in honour of Zaid. You must get 1922 4722 Zaid! who was eating his heart out to got to England 1923 522 has sent for Zaid, nomimally to come and see him to report 1923 579 lot of races here - where I met the King and Zaid, the latter 1922 4371 The Amir Zaid, Faisal's youngest brother, has been sent for by 1922 4718 Amir Zaid, HM's youngest brother to whom he is devoted. He 1923 356 Zaid, I hear, had an excellent reception at Mosul 1923 510 bait held out by Ismit Pasha. He is furious at Zaid's being at Mosul 1923 3302 Zaid's car - he was very eager to be told all about the 1922 4735 After Zaid's reception, Mr Cornwallis and I motored out to 1923 3137 great success. Zaid's view on political matters are clearcut. "And 1922 5961 attack Zakho before the conference met at Lausanne, the 1922 5978 harm Zakho but that we must regretfully inform them that if 1922 5963 Zakho folk were their friends and relations and they 1922 5950 Zakho lies on an island encircled by the arm of the 1922 5618 to do, I should like to go up to Zakho on the frontier - but it will 1922 5935 turned into the Zakho pass. The hills were covered with oak scrub 1922 5933 presently joining the Zakho road, by which I had ridden in 1909, with 1922 5911 General of Levies, Col Dobbin, had arrived at Zakho the 1922 5973 Zakho valley reverberates with the sound of their 1922 5906 however, chiefly preoccupied with the news from Zakho, on the extreme 1923 3377 was almost better. We went to Shaikh 'Umran al Zanbar on 1923 156 travelling companions. I had plenty of books and Zaya 1922 5924 and I, driven by Capt Slater in our motor and Zaya and 1923 1698 the office and Zaya and the new gardener, Haji Marzuq, were out 1922 371 for Zaya being a bridegroom and the cook having to cook 1922 22 till nearly 7 and then to find that the cook and Zaya had had a 1922 24 falling upon Zaya with a carving knife and cutting him about the 1922 1363 took Marie also, and Zaya. We tried a new road suggested by Mr Cooke 1923 1549 beaming in Mizhir's shoes and Zaya, Haji 'Ali (the cook) dancing with 1922 368 Zaya's having so completely made it up with my cook as 1922 5853 here is a bearded Zeus, a curly locked Apollo, the snake wreaths of a 1922 3181 of Zionism and had come to the conclusion, as you and I did 1922 1477 ourselves, we both think Zionism tosh. Last night the Bowmans had a 1922 1482 I took refuge in trying to make believe that Zionism was really 1922 1662 to be out of Zionism. I rode out yesterday afternoon to see the 1922 4647 great deal rather have the Turks than us plus Zionism, just as the 1922 3570 clearly that the Zionist immigrants are working for a purely 1922 699 a most entertaining account from Herbert of a Zionist meeting 1922 5006 Zionist policy, Palestine will probably go too. Well 1922 2974 But it leaves the French nowhere and the Zionists 1923 1529 Next morning I flew back to Ziza at 5, a wonderful still dawn, Sep 1 1923 1258 ought to arrive at Ziza by midday. I've telegraphed to Father at Port 1923 1434 leave at 5. If they get to Ziza by 10 we shall go straight through 1923 985 in which case I should arrive at 'Amman or Ziza on the 10th 1923 1505 brought us to Ziza.
