I have not been able to get any likely m
you to
choose a driver from, an^ those who have been sent me seem
to be pretty raw ex M.T, men. I very much rloubt whether any-
one will be willing to come on the nay offered, for quite a
number of people pay 60/- a month in Delhi, anl to so far
away from their homes drivers woulcl naturally want much more.
. I would suggest your trying Karachi, -here ood men shou!
be avais.ble, and where a journey to Bahrain will not seem so
alarming. If I hear of a goo'" 1 man before I go I will let
you kno^, but I doubt being able to find one.
