4* With regard to the letter frem yeu which Kies tosmon
mentioned. It was Mioa Hosmon hemelf who aehed me what
I would do If aho procured a letter from you. I replied
that if the letter contained a statement that you undertook
full responsibility for anything which might occur to her
I would refer the case to Higher Authority i.e. the Political
Resident and His Britannic Majesty*8 Consul-General, rushire,
under whom I work. I am not doing so at present as I do
not know what your attitude towards the question will be
on receipt of this letter.
5. with reference to the consent of the sultan of Muscat
quoted by kiss. Hosmon. in his absence in India the local
goYernment le carried on by a council of konleters, and it
was the latter I approached on behalf of Mias. Hosmon.
They replied adYlsing against the journey.
6. Miss* Hosmon f s object in visiting Hostok, which being
in the Interior offers difficulties to her journey, is to
undertake medical work there, a humane purpose with which
T am in full sympathy. T cannot help pointing out, however,
that there is mere than ample scope for her activities in
the numerous villages along the coast, where a visit from
hsr would bo both feaolblo and welcome, in point of fact
after discussing hor Hostok proposal with mo, Visa. Hosmon
asked me to arrange with the council for such a coastal
trip, nhioh I was glad to do. I obtained permission from
the Council for her trip, ae well as letters of Introduc
tion to their local representatives. Kiss- Hosmon,
however, has not yet made the trip.
7. I trust I have made the peeition ole&r. as s
British Consular Officer in charge of Americon Interests
