2« Owing to the war } recess in the Middle East seems out
of the question, and in any case, now that I have been warned
for the Truciel Coast in the autumn, it would be financially
quite impossible for my wife to accompany me to Alexandria
and then go all the way back to India for the cold weather.
Under rule, therefore, I should only go to either Karachi or
Quetta. Many exceptions have however been made and with
these precedents in view and also for the reason given in my
original request, I would be very grateful if I could be
allowed to go to Kashmir.
3. When in Bushlre, I received the impression that Colonel
Prior was not generally against my going there but considered
Alexandria to be better; I also retain the impression that
he did not consider Karachi very healthy in September. This
^ leaves only Quetta, which has nothing to recommend it so far
as Arabic is concerned. (For that matter, nor has Karachi).
From a purely personal and financial point of view, Kashmir
would suit me far better and so far as re-call is concerned,
we can now only take into consideration the time required to
reach Karachi from the recessing station. In this respect,
Kashmir is as suitable as Ouetta/Ziarat, for one leaves there
in the morning by car via the Banihal (which is always open),
reaches Lahore in time to catch the Karachi moil that night
and is in Karachi the next morning. There is also a regular
