14 MAY 1936
My dear Blaxter,
Would you kindly refer to the
letter from Mr.Skliros,of Petroleum
Concessions Ltd., to Walton, dated 6th
May, copy of which was sent to the
Colonial Office on the 8th May under our
number P.Z. 3156/36, about the Company’s
proposal to employ Mr.E.V.Packer as
Local Manager at Bahrein. As you will
see, Mr.Packer was employed from 1918 to
1931 under the Colonial Office in Iraq,
and we should be grateful if you could
kindly let us know as soon as possible
whether he is a person whose appointment
H.M.G. could safely approve.
We notice that Major General G.G.
Loch is one of Mr.Packer’s referees and
Colonel Loch, the Political Agent at
Bahrein, tells us that he would have
every confidence in a recommendation from
General Loch. We were thinking, if you
have no objection, of approaching him
direct ourselves, but this may be
unnecessary if you are able to give
Packer a good chit frdm your files.
I am sending a copy of this letter
to Brenan, Pirie, Seal and Gunn
