The concierge says<br>
it was dropped off by an American man who wouldn't give his name ("just<br>
tell it it's form a friend"). The fact that it's written on the back of<br>
notepaper of the Shanghai American School<br>
(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_American_School" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_American_School</a>) seems to suggest<br>
this.<br>
<br>
The message says that a coup is being organised in Egypt. The coup<br>
supporters wish to remove Prime Minister Ahmad Ziwar Pasha and replace him<br>
with the nationalist Saad Zaghloul. Zaghloul, a popular and capable<br>
administrator, was prime minister prior to Pasha, but after the<br>
assassination of the governor of Sudan, Sir Lee Stack, the British made<br>
demands which led to Zaghloul resigning rather than carrying them out.<br>
<br>
There is concern that Zaghloul, although a nationalist who is seeking to<br>
eventually remove British control and influence, is accepting this coup,<br>
as in the past he has been a steadfast supporter of a constitutional<br>
democracy and gradual reform and has curtailed the more radical<br>
nationalists.<br>
<br>
It is believed that Omar Shakti is providing funding, support, and<br>
training, behind this coup.<br>
<br>
(Omar Shakti, you will recall, is the powerful cotton farmer whose estate<br>
had the magical locks and who you saw at the at the Sphinx ritual etc.<br>
Unbeknownest to the party it is also where M'moud and Father Delacroix<br>
ended up.)<br>

The letter gives no other indication of the author, but is signed "Z".<br>
