, Bahrain.
After Compliments,
On a previous occasion I spoke to Your Excellency about
the construction of a Hospital at Duha (Qatar), this being
indispensably required for treatment of those inhabitants who
are in need of such treatment. This, as Your Excellency knows,
is a philanthropic project, behind which we aim to afford
medical facilities to those who are patient and needy. The
Hospital has now been constructed in accordance with the xiiix
advice given by the doctors who visited us, notably Dr. Storm
and I beg to inform Your Excellency that the building of the
hospital has been completed and implements, medicines and the
dorctor have been provided. We would like to have it run; but
in the meantime we feel that we cannot dispense with your'
advice in this respect. We request that you would allow Dr.
Storm to proceed to our side in order to supervise the operation
of the hospital. For this act I shall be very grateful.to you.
Usual Ending.
