Dep.r Captain Trevor,
Many thanks for your letter of dale,forward
ing a cover to my address from A^a Bader.
In reply to your enquiry as to whether we want the balance of
the oxide to be brought down to the beach for shipment per "Tangis-
tan"^ I b^g to say that the quantity now available is too small and
therefore not worth while for a large steamer to call there
specially for it, and besides the "Tangistan* has to go to Karachi
for a full cargo. In the face of the prevailing hot weather and
drought I think it would be advisable to suspend operations until
the weather improves and when too Messrs Strick will be better able
to decide about future operations,
Respecting the dispute in weights I am sure that the dock
Authorities in England who undertake the landing of oxide will care
fully and correctly certify to the output to your entire satisfaction
T shall shortly send you copy of Captain Moore's report on Abu
Musa and ii the quality of the present shipment is approved of ,1
feel sure large business will ensue.
