After compliments. —I was glad to re
ceive your letter of 11th Eabi II No. 5
•which you wrote in reply to my letter of
4th Rahi II on the subject of pilotage
fees, and which was very satisfactory
and gave me much hope; and I was waiting
for your second letter so that I may get
the desired result in this question when I
received your letter of 21st Jamadi I on
the 1st Jamadi II. I read it with great
pleasure, understood its contents and it
was the source of great gratitude and pride
for me. I am satisfied, pleased and grate
ful for the sanction of payment to me of
Tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. 2,000 per annum with effect from
the month of January of this present
English year 1920 heretofore, i.e., during
my lifetime, on account of pilotage fees
in accordance with the late Mr. Bill's sug
gestion which was approved by the Civil
Commissioner of Mesopotamia and your
new proposal in continuation of the late
Mr. Bill's suggestion to the Civil Commis
sioner.
You said that I should not consider this
amount as a pilotage fee but as a recog
nition of past good services. It is so of
course and I admit that the kindness and
attention of the authorities of the High
British Government and the assistance of
the Besidency have been and are greater
and better than my services. I consider
this special consideration and connection a
valuable treasure for my descendants.
