a House Rent Allowance for Graonwey, our Medical Officer here#
As this letter does not explain all that we have been doing hwe
in order to meet the Medical Officer’s House Rent each year, I
am writing to give you a short history of this vexed question#

Kuwait the Political Agent took over from Shaikh Mubarak at a
monthly rental of E£0/* a very old Arab single storied house not
far from tho Agency, and crowded his clerks, the Dispensary and
the Medical Officer all into the some building#
3# The house however waa far too small to take the
above staff, while She Medical Officer’s quarters in particular^
insanitary excessively hot owing to their recoving no direct
breeze from the sea, and quite unsuited to a person of the status
of on Aasista
