SIR,
In reply to Foreign Department letter No.517 E.A.
dated 23rd February 1901 to my address I have the honor to
report that I have as instructed ascertained the views of
the Sultan on the subject of the export of coal fromlSoor.
His Highness regards the project favourably and is
willing that as a preliminary measure the locality should be
visited by a Geological expert on behalf of the Government
of India.
I would arrange to accompany the officer and it would be con
venient if he could come to Muscat as soon as practicable
after 1st April bringing with him a camp bed and a light Cau-
bul tent if not inconvenient. Other camp necessaries I can
provide.
I request the favour of being warned at least a
week in advance of the date of the officer's arrival.
A copy of ftfiis letter will be duly furnished to the Resident „
I have etc
