My dear Patrick,

Continuation my Demi-official letter Mo.1792
dated the 7th October, 1945.
2. I would be very grateful if you could be so
kind as to obtain for me from \badan a list of the
electrical, sanitary, and other fittings for a single
house of the X5 type, which it is proposed to ask His
Highness to construct for the Quarantine Medical Officer.
These fittings are to be provided at the cost of the
Government of India while the house is to be built at
His Highness* expense. Under these circumstances you
will appreciate that we shall have to provide everything
except the bare shell of the house and I should
therefore like the list to be as comprenensive as
possible.
3. I should also be grateful for an indication
as to where in the United Kingdom the fittings can best
be purchased.
4. I mentioned the matter to Toulmin this
morning who took a note of it and said he would institute
enquiries in Vbadan.
Yours sincerely,
T.K. Patrick, V;squire,
acting General superintendent,
Kuwait Oil Company Limited,
