Sir 9
I have tho honour to torwardl to you here
with a copy of a letter addressed to the PoXitioal
Agent, 3ahrein t hy the tivm of Uessrs Aahraf Brothers
of that place«
I trust that it will be possible to put
this firm in touch with a reliable buying agent in
the united icingdom and if so I should be glad if a
reply could be given to them as soon as possible so
that they m^y take advantage of the present deprecia-
tion of the pound* I would add that many of the
articles figuring in the list giTen» more espeoially
under hosiex>, glassware and china war©, are now being
fUmishod in increasing quantities by Japan and it
would therefore appear particularly desirable at this
Juncture to encourage the import into Bahrein of
corresponding British goods if possible.
X have the honour to be.
Sir,
Tour most obedient,
humble Servant.
