Reference letter below from Messrs.Yousuf Alraoyyed, General

The material is In all 4 packages (1 cardboard and 3 drums of
varying size) now lying with me in the office, having missed the
R.A.P. plane that took off for Sharjah last Wednesday.
I have had a very unpleasant experience with the R.A.F.
authorities in Bahrain last week when I carried many similar
unvieldy packages, that were received from Messrs.Jashanmal, most
of them addressed to D.L.S. and probably for namesake one for
P.O.T.C., for delivery to them for onward transmission to Sharjah.
These packages had to be taken as they were received because it
was not possible for all of ^jhern be included in the diplomatic
bags mainly due to their vrfmT sizes. Though the R .A .F. authorities
were a little bit relectant at the outset, finally they agreed to
received the packages for onward transmission, after I, in the way
of request, persuaded them to do so. However they have made it clear
that they would not accept similar packages in future unless they
were sent to them a couple of days earlier. This, I think is quite
reasonable, but at the same time I cannot but think what an amount
of difficulties this would involve. As it is the

transport is being used twice in a week, altogether 2 trips to the
R.A.F. Station, Muharraq, for sending and collecting mall to and
from Sharjah.
If we are not under any obligations either to the D.L.S. or
the local merchants, I suggest, if P.A. X&iOC sees no objection,
that we better stop receiving similar packages in future and that
the packages already forwarded to us by Messrs.Yousuf Almoyyed for
onward transmission to Sharjah may now be returned to them, mxA
instructing tkJBe that they are not to forward packages as such
in future for onward transmission to any destination that we are
closing Diplomatic Mail Bags, unless otherwise they are addressed
to any of the Agencies or their officers in charge. The merchants
can very well afford to make their own arrangements, owing to the
fact that British India Steamers are now calling at ports like
Sharjah every fortnight once and in addition Country Crafts are
also sailing almost daily from Bahrain to the various Gulf ports.
