refer the matter for Your Excellency’s consideration. As the British India Company
are precluded by their mail contract from complying with the Vali’s proposal on
the lines suggested by him, perhaps the Minister of Tosts will authorize the Vali
to enter into a formal arrangement with the Indian Post Office for the purpose.

His Majesty s Consul, Basrah, to the Postmaster-General, Bombay.
No. 27.
August 27,1910.
Sir,
His Majesty’s Consul-General at Baghdad has forwarded me your letter to him.
No. 1905-C. of the 29th ultimo, relative to the proposed postal service from Basrah
to Ojair.
The question formed the subject of correspondence between this Consulate,
the Government of India and His Majesty’s Embassy at Constantinople in 1905,
and I am now referring your letter and enclosures to His Majesty’s Ambassador
for consideration. I think it will be necessary to consult the Minister of Posts at
Constantinople before any formal arrangement can be made for the purpose with
the Indian Post Office.
On receipt of His Majesty’s Ambassador’s reply I will communicate my obser
vations through the British Resident in the Persian Gulf who is also interested in
the matter.
I have, etc.,
• (Sd.) F. E. CROW.
Telegram, dated 23 rd September 1910 .
From—Hia Majesty’s Ambassador, Constantinople,
To—The Consul, Basrah.
In reply to your despatch No. 52 of August 27, 1910, I have no objection to
the proposed arrangement, but it would be better that the Vali of Basrah should
himself apply to the Ministry at Constantinople for the necessary authorization.
Pray inform me of the date and number of the Vali’s application here and we
will then follow up the matter unofficially at Constantinople.
