BAHKAIN.
d.o. M o.c /664. The 9th of June, 1947.
Dear Colonel Hay,
please refer to Jackson's demi-official letter
No.1310-65/19, dated the 4th June, 1947, and to our
various conversations on the subject of Ranee's and my
own leave.
2. For the reasons already given in the enclosure to
my letter ro. 1609-1/4, dated the llch ?'ay, 1947, Ranee
does not wish to postpone his leave, and has booked his
passage leaving here on June 15, and a return passage to
bring him here on the 20th of July. T have told him that,
as you said, he may have to postpone his leave if I am
required immediately for interviews.
«
3. T am naturally apprehensive that postponement of
my interviews — even though at my own verbal request
in order to fit in interviews and leave together — may
prejudice my chances of future employment in government
service or otherwise; and I should, therefore, be grateful
if, as soon as you are able to do so, you can give me an
assurance tha.t such chances will not be prejudiced.
4. As I stated this morning, it is a matter of extreme
disappointment to me that ray request for three months' leave
mentioned first to you about a year ago should not have been
given priority over applications from those who have been at
home later than I have. I gathered from what you said that
the result of this is that it seems unlikely that I shall be
able to have more than six weeks' leave.
Yours Sincerely,
l
Sd./- C.J. PELLY
