F«r attention Mr® Pinhey.
tiJi^
I thank you for your letter No 16B0-28/44 fiated
23rdo May 1950 with the enclosures.
I have instructed the Dubai branch of the British
Bank of Iran to place to our credit with their Bahrein office
the sum of Rs» 5000 (
Rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
Five Thousand)•
This should be sufficient to cover all outstanding
bills with the exception of the latest one from Yousef Khalil
Almoayyed amoutnig to Rs* 5055*4.
Will you please hold this until I am satisfied
that the installation of the equipment is entirely satisfactory^
2 1 feel that it would be possible to relieve you of
a lot of unnecessary work if I too could sign cheques on the
Bahrein Branch of The British Bank of Iran* In these circumstances
any sums to be paid could be forwarded by me direct to the
people concerned on presentation of their accounts* This would
leave you only the small items and such advances has made be
needed by officers of this Survey passing through.
Before I suggest this to the Bank officials I would
like your comments.
Yours
