Translation of Saiyid Hashim an-Naq.il) f s letter
to Saiyid 'AMul Wahhal an-Naq.i'b, Kuwait, dated the 25th
December, 1955.
After compliments,
I have received your telegram regarding the lease
of the Diwaniyeh of the Kuwait house. The grant and the
acceptance of a lease cannot he effected so guick as light
ning, especially when the lessor lives in one country and
the lessee in another. The question being one of giving
and accepting of a lease, and it being necessary after all
that communications be made with me directly, therefore
negotiations should proceed on a clear basis. Hence it has
become necessary to enquire about the following points : -
How long would be the duration of the lease?
Does the lessor need the house for his personal
residence; or for an official department; or for
a commercial department; or for all?
Is the electrification and the cost thereof to
be born by the lessor or by ourselves? On the
supposition that the cost is to be bom by us,
what will it be, and of what quality should be
the electrical impliments?
The lessor shall not be entitled to transfer the
lease to another.
I cannot mak:e a draft of the lease and send it
for perusal before the lapse of the first week
of Shauwal month, 1354.
(6) If, God forbid, a difference arises between the
lessor and the lessee and the latter cannot come
to an understanding with the former and the
question is referred to the esteemed judicature,
the case should be looked into at the Courts of
Basra, on the consideration that Basra is the
residence of both parties. But if the other
party desire to occupy the house rent-free, it is
not far (beyond their reach), in view of all
regard and kind favours always extended to me. I
am always grateful.
(7) What are the repairs required to done to the
house, and what will that cost (i.e. how many
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
will such repairs cost). If reply to the
above questions will not come clear, I shall not
be able to give you a definite reply.
