Prior to my service in Bahrain, I had spent
about years in the near _.ast, and two years in
Africa, doing /ork of a similar nature to this,
atleast hall of the time, therefore I was not
altogether unacquainted /ith work of this type.
The value of work of this description
depends largely on continuity and length of service,
this, in my opinion, can only be assured by good
health. I submit that if is impossible to work
to the best 01 ones ability for four years under
the conditions prevailing in this place, and that
it would be of ultimate benefit to'the State if
the conditions of furlough could be modified,
I reouest that the condition of four years
service prior to furlough should be reduced to
two years, after which three months furlough on
full pay, in England, may be t aken, and also that
the passage money for the one month per year annual
leave to India, may, if not spent on"that purpose,
be utilised towards the furlough after the two years,
The second term of service would then commence after
the return to Bahrain from furlough,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Obedient Servant,
Adviser to
the Government, Bahrain,
