Dear Sir,
The Bahrain Petroleum Company Limited have
addressed me stating that they wish to install an
electronic survey aid for use in their seismograph
reconnaissance of water covered areas and that the
most desirable site for one of the sub-stations of
this installation is on the Qatar peninsula some
where in the vicinity of Dohah, preferably on the
coast between Dohah and Umm Said, They have further
more requested me to take up the question of leasing
a site for the sub-station with the Shaikh of Qatar.
At the site in addition to the installation there
would be temporary living quarters for two European
operators, an Indian cook, and possibly two local
employees. Radio telephone communication will be
necessary between Bahrain and the sub-station,

to the siting of the sub-station, but as it will be
within your concessional area your formal confirmation
is requested.
Yours faithfully
