'Oil Concessions' [‎75r] (168/480)

1913 and 1922, and there are, no doubt, Regulations
made by you but as to the practical local effect of
these, we have no knowledge. There are also, no doubt
Orders issued by His Excellency or other the State
Government of Bahrein.
There is one further question we would like to put
to you, and that is. By whom and in what form (if any)
a Receipt for moneys payable under or in respect of
the Concession Agreement of the 2nd December 1925 should
be given so as to constitute a complete discharge to
the Bahrein Petroleum Company Limited, or the Eastern
and General Syndicate Limited, as the case may be, as
against His Excellency and all other parties (if any)
interested. As you know, there are certain periodical
payments due under the Agreement and if the provisions
concerning a Mining Lease become operative, then
royalxties will also probably become payable and
we would like to be able to advise our Clients now and
for all time what they should accept as a formal and
final discharge for such payments made by them. We
enclose a form of Receipt which we suggest might serve
as a precedent. Do you think it will be sufficient?
Major Frank Holmes is kindly bringing this letter
to you; we have discussed it with Mm, and he will no
doubt be able to afford to you any further explanations
which you may require. If so, please cable fully to
us.
It would be agreat convenience to us, and we think
to others concerned, if we could have your short reply
by cable, followed by a confirmatory letter in detail.
If you could expedite the letter by Air Mail, we would
appreciate
