BRITISH RESIDENCY,

BAHRAIN

7 November, 1966.

Would you please refer to correspondence about the
155/022/possibility of a visit to Abu Dhabi by Shaikh Hafiz Wahba

which appears to rest with Sir William Luce's letter to
Brenchley 1031 of 20 June (copied to you).

---

2. I now enclose copies of two further papers on this
subject which do not appear to have been sent to you (an
excerpt from H.M. Ambassador in Jedda's letter 1634/19/10
to Brenchley which was sent to the PR under a Jedda
compliment slip and a copy of Weir's minute of 19 October
about Mrs. McKay). Both papers report Mrs. McKay's
proposal to King Faisal that Shaikh Hafiz Wahba should
visit Abu Dhabi and we would be grateful to know whether
you see any difficulties in this from your end.

3. I am copying this letter to Cranston in Jedda and
Weir in Arabian Department.

(M. R. Melhuish)
