Dear Sir,
t
b
- -7^- V
With reference to ja^ previous correspondance with you
ending with your~letter No:73C dated l6th April 1945 addressed
to my Agent in Kuwait Mr Khalifah Alghanim, I very much regret
to point out that I have received no further information as to
when the vacant possession of my house now occupied by l>r Hynes
will be given to me* /^t) \ jf
I mav add that I had nC inch agreement that my house
will be retained for an unlimited period and your
mentioning in your letter Uo-.ftC of 16-4-45 that ;»Dr Hynes ^
w ill be able to move out as soon as a new house is ready is
not justified at all* .
It is now over J^^months that I had given the notice
that I wanted my house vacated which I consider was more than
enough as in ordinary case only one or at the most three months
notice fs given which is acceptable by law in any country but in
this case probably it is considered right that the house should be
retained for an unlimited time xxxjtila against the wishes of tne
owner. I regret to mention that if within 15 months neither a new
house could be built in Kuwait or a suitable house c °nld be
obtained on hire although may be available in;) town, I do not
think that this could ever be done which means my house is uc
be remained in your possession for an unlimited time.
I may aslo bring to your notice that I am not yet paid
any rent for the last year and shall thank you to please pay t
same to my Agent Mr Khalifah Alghanim and also request
immediate arrangements may please be made to hand ov-r o.
possession of the house too to himo
Thanking you and awaiting your early compliance.
Yours faithfully*
Muhammad Thinayan Alghaninu
