Dear Paul
Thank you for your letter. I am so glad that you enjoyed the ski trip, and pleased that the man in London got in touch with you and is arranging your trip to Saudi.
If, as you wish, you want to fly by Saudia, that’s fine. No problem. Roger could fly with you.
The weekend before last there was an awful fuss here where St. Gerards was sending me telegrams to phone them, and I couldn’t phone them. The whole company here was just about turned upside down and they were ready to fly me to Ireland. However, through the Hague (Holland) they managed to find out that there was no emergency. However, I still don’t know what was wrong at the school or what all the fuss was about. It sure created an emergency situation here though.
Paul, I have not got your telescope yet so be patient. I will get it for you!!
Maybe by the time you get here we will be in a new house up in Dhahran. Presently I am in a very nice apartment in Al Khobar. Cheers.
Love, Dad.
