Government of India, Simla.
Anglo--Persian Oil Company propose sending a
geologist this cold weather with a surveyor to prospect and
survey in Muscat territory pursuant to their agreement.
The geologist will^arrive at Muscat about Octolier 18th and
i
proceed in the first instance northwards to Sohar and as far
beyond as possible, making trips to the West to the coastal
range wherever circumstances permit, and thence proceed to
Malcolm and Elphinstone inlets. Sir Arnold Wilson has
asked if Alban could accompany the party as he knows the
country as far as Sohar, and states that Aliban's salary and
all travelling expenses would be paid by the Company.
He
estimates the period as not more than two months.
Would this be possible under the foreign
Service Rules, as Alban is willing to go ? If so, on what
conditions ?
