Dear Sir;
Referring to your letter 2165i28/14 of 26th August, 1936.
In regard to paragraph 2 of your letter, we had not
informed Mr. Bush of those people whom we had already engaged prior
to his departure for Bombay as we figured that it would be sometime
before he could set up an Office and do anything towards helping
clear these people thru the authorities.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Bush left here by the Imperial
Airways July 29th to Karachi from which point he proceeded by fast
mail to Bombay, It was a week or so before he was able to find a
suitable office.
In regard to paragraph 4 of your letter, we do have a
copy of the Indian Emigration Act in our Office. Therefore, we
shall not need the copy which you so kindly offered to lend us.
/C
Yours very truly.
g. w. r . aim.
Chief Local Representative,
THE BAHREIN PT2TR0LBUM COMPANY LIMITED.
