February 6th, 1914.
Sir:-
We have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 28th ultimo for which we thank you.
With regard to the remarks in the concluding para
graph of your letter, we may say that some time ago our
Birmingham friends informed us that they had received a
9
complaint from Muscat respecting a certain lot of
cartridges, but although both they and we did everything
possible to obtain samples of the goods complained of,
or to get more particulars, we were unsuccessful. In
any case, the complaint was not regarded by our friends
as a serious one, and the fact that we continued to do
such a large trade, we think, confirms this.
If His Majesty's representative at Muscat could
obtain and send on to us samples of the cartridges
complained of, we think we should be able to prove
that the trouble was not due to the caps at all.
We are &c..
For Kynoch Limited,
(Signed) A.E.Jowett.

Foreign Office.
Secretary.
