Bahrain, the iiOtn February lSis4
I am alraid tnat there may be some misapprehension about
a sentence in paragraph 2 of my express Letter No:C/50-10/5
dated the E7th January 1934 about the aeroplane of the
Standard Oil Company of California,which read '"inis would ,1
think,be not umliKely to develop into a regular service".
2. Following the statement that "used chiefly for exploration
aeroplane might be used for carrying personnel in case of
sicKness or emergency",the sentence was meant only to convey
that the aeroplane might develop into a regular service for the
Companyias opposed to emergency flights),not a regular public
service.
3. I am sorry to bother you at such a time,but I leel that
I should mention this point as from paragraph 3(i) of your
d^mi-ofiicial letter No: 133-S dated the ?th February iyi54r,it
might be thought that I wanted (or regarded with equanimity)
an American air service from Bahrain to Sa'udi Arabia,which
would be,i agree entirely,the very last thing to be wanted.
