Dear
Many thanks for your letter D.O.No.2172 dated
the 20th November.
I have informed the Shaikh that the pistols are
in your custody and that it is understood that we
shall eventually have to return them as it seems that
it is not in order for Mr. Rockefeller to send a
present of lethal weapons.
I feel that the Company, in view of the Shaikh's
constant reminders, ^ould not very well leave him
under the impression for an indefinite period tnat the
pistols would reach him shortly and give no explanation
of the delay.
Yours sincerely,
Major R.G.Alban,
H.B.M.'s Political _1gent,
Bahrain.
