BAHRAIN,
Dated 16th May, 1948
Dear Dredge,
s
Please refer to your endorsement No.1065-34/3,
dated the 16th April> 1948, and to our telephone con
versation of this morning,
2, As you will know it is not such a simple matter
to have the launch overhauled and quite apart from the
scarcity and expense of labour and material here, I am
not really clear as to how far the Foreign Office sanc
tion goes. The specific items which are going to cost
quite a bit of money are (1) a dinghy, (2) a lavatory
and wash basin, and (3) an electric lighting set. 5* • ^
The figures in my D.O.No.3-3/21, dated the 3rd January,
1948, were taken from estimates given to me by JacksorT
and, though I am not evading responsibility for them,
I find on examining quotations from firms that they were
be
a bit optimistic. I do not think a dinghy can/bought
for less than £60, lavatory and wash basin about the same
and an electric lighting set not less than £50. Does
the letter from E.& 0. Department empower me to order
these
