RESTRICTED Foreign and Commonwealth Office London SW1 Telephone 01 - Your reference RD Gordon Esq British Embassy DOHA Our reference Date 10 January 1974 GIFTS FOR PRESENTATION TO QATAR MUSEUM 1 As promised in my letter of 8 January, I am enclosing in today's bag, 10 January, copies of the documents and maps which the India Office Library have copied and bound for us. I hope you will agree that they make an attractive gift and together with the books which we have already sent you, I think this will be a suitable "package" for presentation to the Qataris. 2 I am afraid I have had no luck in finding a suitable copy of Bertram Thomas' "Arabia Felix", or any of the other books we mentioned. Nor, alas, have I been able to lay my hands on a model of an East Indiaman. I enclose some book-plates which you may find useful when Lord Balniel inscribes the volumes. I look forward to hearing how the gifts were received. A D Harris Middle East Department RESTRICTED
