Dear Weightman, / * f '
Thank you very much for sending me a copy
of the report made by Dr. Holmes and Mohamed Khalil,
I find out, that, since this list was made
in 1935, sixteen more wells have been sunk within the
Manamah Municipal area, making a total of (to-day)
thirty-seven wells.
This morning, our test hole had drained 6i"
of water from the low ground to the south of the
Mission Hospital (in approximately 96 hours). The
water is still draining away, but, apparently, at a
slower rate.
We will take observations for one week, by
which time most of the water should have been drained
off # (at the present rate of flow)
Should this happen, (and I hope it does !)
it would be worth while attempting to drain another piece
of low lying land.
Yours sincerely, .
