ExTEACT PARA. 19 OF AN (AeMt) DESPATCH FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, No. 55,
dated 27th July 1917.

19. We have had under consideration the question of increasing the allow-
f (Sent in advance by the mail of the 13th July anC 6 drawn hy Dr. P. 0. Woollatt,
1 1917 ' K °* 2 5 a m. s. 16625. Assistant Superintendent, Indo-European
B ' Telegraph Department, who is in
medical charge of the South Persia Eifles, Shiraz. Dr. Woollatt is at present
in receipt of an allowance of Es. 200 per mensem which was sanctioned, with
*Viie your telegram, dated the 1 st February 1917» VOUr approval*, in EebruarV last. Sit
Department. Percy Sykes has represented that Dn
Woollatt was in receipt of 300 tomans per mensem when the Persian Gendar
merie was officered by the Swedes, that he is now in medical charge of
some 3,000 men and that his 11 years’ experience of Shiraz and his close con*
nection with and knowledge of the gendarmerie make his services invaluable.
He therefore considers it hard that Dr. Woollatt should lose through the j
force being taken over by the British Government, and he recommends that
Dr. Woollatt should be granted the terms given him by the Swedes for a
period of 7 years with effect from the 15th November 1916. We consider
that no justification exists for the engagement of Dr. Woollatt for 7
years on the terms proposed by Sir Percy Sykes. At the time that the
allowance of Es. 200 was sanctioned Sir Percy Sykes intimated that Dr.
Woollatt was in sole charge of about 2,000 men. It now appears he is in sole
charse of some 3,000 men and in view of this increase we consider that his
allowance should be Es. 300 per mensem with effect from the 15th
November 1916, the date on which he assumed medical charge of the South
Persia Eifles, and while he remains in sole charge of the South Persia Eifles
at Shiraz. We would be glad if your orders could be communicated to us by
telegraph.
