Thanks for your letter of June 2nd*, and
the cheque for Rs. 503 - 10 - 0 which I received on June 12th.
I aa enclosing a receipt for the Rs* 503 - 10 - 0.
As regards the boards you want I can get
8 W X 2 n or 10 n X 2 W but according to the ways of the Orient, the
last two shipments have come in lengths of IS*. However I
shall try to find 14* lengths for you*
With reference to the Koweit Hospital, you
perhaps heard that Me Kenkies’ Saw Mills Ltd of Bombay shipped
102 ,packages of building material to Busrah by mistake. I had
to pay Ltq.44 customs duty on this stuff and altogether had quite
a deal of bother getting it reshipped to Koweit. Of course
McKenkies Saw Mills have had to stand all of this expense, but I
am trying to get some of the money back for them* Mr Crow
has received a statement to the effect that the custom duty will
be refunded, but he says "On enquiry yesterday at the Custom
House I was informed that they require a certificate signed by
Shiekh Mubarek — to the effect that the goods were landed at
Koweit. The reference is:-
102 packages of building material and hardware shipped by
s. s. "DUMRA", voyage 115, for Busrah, Bill of Lading No.93,
marked S*H*
These packages were reshipped from Busrah to Koweit by the
Koweit Boom "Saleme” on April 11 th.
Could you kindly get the enclosed letter duly signed for me. If
there are any charges for stamps,etc* kindly let me know*
I have moved into a new house, and am doing
my best to jget settled* Mrs Shaw has gone to India, so I am
attending to the details myself. How about that list of
fumitur® and household goods that you want to sell? Mrs Shaw
intends to buy some things in India, and if I had your list, I
could pick out what we want now, so that there will no risk of
duplicating our purchases •
Hoping to see you soon
Y0Urs sincerely
