Sir,
I have the honour to refer to your letter No:609-S
dated the 26th August 1932 regarding the Annual Report
of the Bahrain State.
2. It would appear that by lack of specific commendation
in my forwarding letter I have conveyed an unfavourable
impression of Mr.Belgrave^ work during the past year. This
was far from my intention and I would like to efface it,
should such an impression have been created.
3. The year may be aptly described as a financial rear
guard action,in which the State suffered loss but retired
in good order. Though less spectacular,a rear guard action
calls for as much,if not greater,skill and pertinacity
than an advance,and in this rear guard action Mr.Belgrave

economies,and only those who have served in a semi civilized
State such as Bahrain can realize the many and diverse
forms this unpleasantness can take and what pressure can
be brought to bear by interested persons. Had Mr.Belgrave*s
efforts been more ably seconded by Captain Parke,who
officiated for him during his leave,the deficit would have
been smaller.
