My dear Dobbs ,
I enclose a copy ot a confidential memorand'om NO-
10a-C dated 21st August from the folitical Agent, Bahrain,
to my address . It you could do anything to help us in the
matter by instructions to the ollicers serving under you 1
sia*ll be most grateful. Bahrain, as you no doubt know,
and the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. points out in his memorandum, is
cursed with a number of idle younpfc Shaikhlings who have
nothing whatever to do and whose useful employment is one of
the mcst difiioult problems that we have to deal with in
those islands .
II you could go a little further and convey a
"little word" to His Majesty King Faisal, that would be even
more effective . 1 do not suppose that we are ever linely
to send State Visitors irom Bahrain to Iraj but if we do,
you and His Majesty may rest assured that they will travel
with proper credentials and letters of introduction. The
more other visitors from Bahrain are treated as ^uite ordinary
persons and left to find their lown level - which is a very
low one - the better we shall be pleased and the better for
them.
Yours sincerely ,
Sd/~ S.a .Knox
