to the Commandant Muscat Levy Corps and a copy of his reply.
I request that the India Store Department be asked to
arrange the supply o? 20,000 rounds of 7 mm Mauser Ammunitior.
The Muscat Government cannot afford to
pay for the rearmament of the Levy Corps this year* It is
too early yet to judge of the possibility of their being
able to do so next year. i presume the rifles to be supplied »
at Rs 35/8/0 are unused* Perhaps you v/ould be so good as to
ascertain this*
