The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.

WHITEHALL, S.W.l.
16th September, 1937.
Dear Gunn,
I enclose a copy of a letter from the
Kuwait Oil Company who wish to employ an American,
Samuel Carl McMackin, as geologist vice Rhoades, who
is required for duty elsewhere. You will observe that
the Company give the necessary assurance under Article 3
of the Political Agreement and that the total number of
Americans employed (two) will not be increased.
Do you see any objection to Mr. McMackin s
employment?
I am sending a copy of this letter to Brenan
and Seal.
P.S. I gather that as usual the Company is in a hurry,
and that the man is sailing from the U.S.a. ior th
country on the 23rd September.
H.G. Gunn, Esq.,
Petroleum Department,
Mines Department,
Dean Stanley Street,
