1 assumed that the matter was urgent and immediate, and
therefore go myself released from the other engagement
and they wired to England for another man in my place.
The same day I asked the Embassy to wire you that I
accepted, and that I could come immediately.
As you know, it then turned out, through no fault of mine,
that there was to be a delay , which is still continuing.
Had I known that this would have been so, I could have
taken on the other Job temporarily, and by the middle of
this month 1 should have earned £75, as well as having
had free board at the school. Please don f t think that I
am complaining: I only want to put the facts before you,
and to ask that the dste of commencement should be counted
as October 1st, the date on which I accepted the post which
was then contemplated.
Anyway, I should be most grateful if you would let me
know to whom I should write, about small details in connection
with the Contract, or whether it would be best to wait until
I get to Bahrain. You say in your letter that the Contract is
not in its final form.
Thanks once again for any part you have had in getting
me this very attractive job, which I am looking forward to
immensely.
^ith kind regards,
Yrs. v. sincerely,
Sd. C.H.L. Adrian-Vallance
About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence related to the development of education in Bahrain. In particular, the correspondence discusses a proposal by C.R.L Adrian-Vallance to establish a college of higher education in Bahrain for students from all of the Arab states of the Gulf.
Adrian-Vallance proposed this idea as a means to combat Pan-Arab/anti-British sentiment and foster a sense of Gulf identity distinct from a broader Arab identity. A letter (from Adrian-Vallance to Charles Belgrave, Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa's adviser) that outlines his plan for the college is contained on ff. 7 - 15.
The file also includes a detailed report on government education in Bahrain with proposals for reform (written by Adrian-Vallance in 1939) contained on ff. 52b - 126, a report on technical education in Bahrain (written by Geoffrey E. Hutchings in 1940) contained on ff. 160 - 192 and a report written by Adrian-Vallance in May 1940 that gives an update on the progress made in education in Bahrain since his appointment as Director of Education in the country in November 1939.
The file also contains correspondence regarding Adrian-Vallance's appointment as Director of Education in Bahrain, including a copy of his contract with Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
