D.O.No. C/568
Muscat, the 16th October, 1940.
Please refer to your Vice-Principal’s letter of the
23rd August 1940 and to the correspondence which you have had
with the Hon’ble Lt.-Colonel C.G. Prior, C.I.E. I have now t
received instructions to correspond direct with you with regara
to the entrance of Saiyid Fahr bin Taimur into the Mayo College.
A
2. Much as the Sultan would have liked i is half brother
to have entered the college in October this year, I am afraid
it was really quite impossible. The boy was still in
Baghdad in September and I was myself on tour at Gwadur and
unable to get into touch with the Sultan. The Sultan is
anxious that Saiyid Fahr should join the college at the end of
the Christmas holidays and if you are prepared to accept him y
then will you please let me know as soon as possible on what
date he should be present.
3. The Sultan has asked whether it will be possible on j
payment of additional charges for his half brother to be under -
your personal supervision and whether it would be possible for
him to reside in your house. He tells me that there was such
a practice when he himself was a student at the college.
Colonel Prior has informed that the terms so far agreed are
Rs. 968/- annually and I would be glad to know what percentage j
of this amount will be owing for the remainder of the school
year.
4. The Sultan has drawn my attention to page 23 of your
prospectus and has asked whether his brother could take some
of the special subjects and enquired what subjects it would be
desirable for him to study. I told the Sultan that it seemed
that the special subjects were part of the school curriculum
but I would ask you to let me know in due course if Saiyid
Fahr showed any aptitude for any particular subject.
