To,
H.M's Political Agent,
KUWAIT.
Sir,
I beg to state that it is some months ago that
you wrote to the Residency about my house rent. I had
made it clear then that I will be satisfied with a house
rent allowance of Rs.200/- per mensem and would not ask
for any increment if it was sanctioned. I now understand
that there is no hope of getting that allowance and as
I find it difficult to carry on without such help from
the Government - as my pay does not help me to pay such
high rent in Kuwait - I reauest you to kindly refer my
OL
case again to His Majesty’s Government through the proper
channel asking them either to sanction the rent as from
the time I joined Foreign Office Service or alternatively
to give me an increment of Rs.200/- per mensem from the
same period. I reauest you to allow me to add that I am
quite willing to serve His Majesty*s Government for years
to come provided I am given a fair salary to cover my
living expenses. Sir, you know well how hard it is to
live on such meagre salary that I am now getting, which
is*almost half of what some of the local Government em
ployees are getting, and that I can get double the present
pay anywhere in Kuwait. I sincerely hope that you will
kjndly consider this, my humble request and assist me
as much as you consider it reasonable.
I have the honour to be
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
