cVhen going tnrou^h some confidential files in ii*y office
a few days ago, 1 suudenly caue across a Jubilee **eoal
pocked away in a corner of a cupboard* On making inquiries
in the office I learnt that all the 5 meuals allotted to ^uset
cat had been bestowed on the recipients except tnat on
iCs
oairam iv*adhavji, Lukhi of Hindu Community, muscat*
2 . Bremner is saia to have aeclared tnat he did not
consider Mukhi Jairam was worthy of a meaal so he had not
given to him* On the other hand in Muscat Express setter
No*C/158 dated 30th ^y 1935 it is stated that the medal
was bestowed on the kukhi# Bremner maae no mention of
the matter either in his handing over note or in the Jubilee iv
medal File*
It has occurred to me that possiol,/ Bremner may have
written to you subsequently explaining why he aid not give
the medal to Jairam Madhavji*
I thought it advisable therefore to write to you and
clear up the point*
3* As mentioned above, the name of ^ukhi Jairam Madhavji
has already been included in the list of recipients of the
meaal in muscat express Letter No*C/158 aated 30th May 1935
and this list was incorporated with that of all other posts
in the Persian Oulf under your control and by now must have
been received by Government of xndia for inscribing in the
special book which is to be kept for uie purpose*
4. Under the circumstances the best thing to do, in my
opinion, whatever Bremner may have written or not to you
about the matter, is to bestow the medal on mukhi Jairam
i.adhavji at a suitable ceremony
5« This I propose to do. Please confirm*
Yours sincerely,
The hon'ble Lieut-Colonel T.CftFowle, C*B*Lft,
Political Hcsident in the Persian ^ulf,
