Will you please refer to Sir Reader Bullard 1 s letter
No. 664/312/1 dated the 23rd March 1939 about the Qusaibis ?
-S
2. You will be interested to hear, and possibly sir Reader
will be too, that the King has written also to Shaikh Eamad
asking him to treat the Qusaibis with special kindness. The
letter was presented yesterday and followed up immediately
with a request for permission to import a motor car free of
duty. The net value of this would have been Rs 150/-, and
it throws an interesting light on the use made of letters of
recommendation of this sort. I do not of course exclude the
possibility that Qusaibi was trying on something quite small
to begin with, with the idea of claiming similar exemption
in respect of all his imports in future.
