19th December 1932.
My dear Prior,
I feel sure you will be interested to
have a copy of the attached letter with its enclosures
which I have written to Col. Fowle regarding the
present situation of our affairs in Persia.
We were disturbed to learn from our Agent
in Bahrein that some anxiety was being evidenced in
Bahrein as to the normal supply of oil products and
fearing that this might lead to exploitation of the
market by dealers we telegraphed you to enquire if
you would be so very kind as t o use your influence
to prevent any profiteering. As I have mentioned
in my letter to Col. Fowle our operations continue
in a perfectly normal manner and there is no reason
whatever to suppose that there will be any interrup
tion in normal supplies of oil to markets* I shall
be more than grateful for any assistance you can give
to allay this alleged feeling of apprehension in the
market.
I am not sure whether you have left,
but in case you have I will take the precaution of
addressing the cover to this letter to the Political
Agent to ensure that it will reach the hand of Col.
Lock in your absence.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Enel.

Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. ,
