Bahrain, Mott. 22, 1941
Dear Wakelin,
I have received your letter of the 18th Novr•
on the subject of married accomodation. As in
tho case of your predecessor the Government agreed
to provide free furnished quarters for the Director
of Sducation. It does not undertake to provide
accomodation for famines although actually in the
case of married officials when it is possible they
are allotted houses which are suitable for a married
couple. In your case we did not know that you were
married until after you had arrived here.
The house^whlch you are living has been occupied
by various people, some with families, inclu&in£
Dr. & Mrs. Thoms with several children, Wtag Gomnander^
and Mrs. Coates and lately Mr. and Mrs. Vallance. The
building does not belong to the Government but is
leased from a private owner. A considerable amount
of money has been spent on it lately in repairs, paint-*
ing etc. The drainage system was put in by the land
lord, an Arab, I have not had complaints about it
before but I understand that it is now unsatisfactory
and a new septic tank is now being built similar to
those in other houses. The bathroom can also be
improved.
There are at present no other government quarters
vacant. If one of the Law Court flats becomes empty
it would be possible for you to take it over. These
flats were built with the intention of the large room
being —
y. I. Wakelin, Ssquire,
Director of Sducation,
Bahrain.
