After Compliments:
tfith reference to your letter No.C/TC-116 of
2.10.1369 equivalent to 18.7.50 and in particular your
desire to expand the airfield according to the details
previously explained and that you like to begin with
this urgent work and after that you will decide with us an
extra rental for the additional area to be included in
the aerodrome as mentioned in your letter. We under
stood this and approve it.
But we like to draw your High attention to the
agreement which is more than one and a half year since
it was made and you have been promising us to sign it
from one time to the other.
We also previously mentioned to you about the
pays, specifications and rentals to start with effect
from the date of issue of our letter No.187 dated 8.4.1368
which you finally approved. We, in support of it, wrote
you two letters the first was No.32 dated 15.1.1369 and
the other was No.103 dated 24.1.1369. We are still
paying salaries for the guards whom we engaged for the
R.A.F and for the civil aerodrome, awaiting the receipt
of the salaries from time to time.
We hope that Your Excellency would shortly inti
mate to us about signing the agreement and payment of the
salaries and specifications as we finally agreed to and
also the settlement of the rent of the foregoing area.
Many thanks for you.
Usual ending.
