My dear Pelly,
HAI KFALL FIOUHES - SHARJAH & MUSCAT
We are interested in rainfall figures for Sharjah,
Muscat, Ras-al-Hadd and Masirah. I understand that there
is a meteorological section at Sharjah and Muscat wo iking
under the G-ovemment of India. In addition the R.A.F.
and the B.O.A.C. perhaps keep this data at Sharjah and the
R.A.F. at Muscat, Masirah and Ras-al-Hadd.
It might save correspondence if you could see
your way to asking the Political Representatives at or
near these places if they would be kind enough to furnish
rainfall records for 1944 and 1945 (to datej from all the
sources available. If this is not the correct channel
or procedure and you would prefer us to deal direct with
the R.A.J?'. and b.O.A.C. please let us know,
iours sincerely,
0. J. Pelly, Esq., l.C.S.,
