* (3) A matter unconnected with tfcie above t but wiiich I feel
will interest you, is as follows.
Ihe westbound airmails were ready for despatch on 14th
instant when your as^zit here was told from JBasrah about noon to
inform the ibstMaster that your plane was flying over to Basrah at
about 5 P»ei« and that the mails <sould be received there in time by
car, if the Past-master would provide one. As the ibst master has
instructions not to incur such expense (say Rs.lJ) the mails would
not have gone had not I happened to be sending a car into Basrah,
which I instructed to take the mails, which included not only my own
but those of H.M.S.Bideford, lying in Kuwait*
Here again I am well aware of the situation between
yourselves and the post office, lut I venture to suggest that, on
occasions when your plane has to fly over Kuwait yet there is
sufficient time for the mails to reach Basrah by car, your agent
might be empowered to send the mails by car. The occasions would be
very few, the expense very small, and your clients very much gratified.
Any reply to this letter should be addressed to me C/o
Anglo^Persian Oil Cox Ltd: London.
