Sir,
The Postal authorities have drawn ray attention to a
latter posted at Bushira to the address of
Abdalla bin Hassan al-Qaiaaibi ( )
with 1 anna.sorvica labels. The person who addressed the letter
is one Ahmad bin Tahir, an Arab of Hassa and praaumably a
Turkish subject. It is not thought desirable to proceed against
the latter through the TurKish Consul hare, we sire therefore
reduced to taking any steps that we can at Bahrein.
I sand you the letters in question and suggest your sanding
for the addressee and telling him that this latter having got
service labels on which must have bean fraudulently obtained,
has been stopped by the Postal authorities and sent to us for
enquiry,Th®m 1 see what you cam get out of him. If, as is
conceivable, there is^ny suspicion that A1 Qasaibi himself
provided the stamps, you nay think it better to endeavour to
get some clue to the source of his supply, before going fur
ther.
I have the honour to be
Sir,
Your most obedient servant.
