/O
We much regret that your letter of the Jrd
January addressed to Sir William Morris has
not been replied to ere now.
As you have probably seen from the papers.
Sir William has recently left this country
on a world tour, and your letter has in con
sequence been passed to me for reply.
With regard to our representation in Bahrein,
as you know, we have recently come to an
arrangement with Mr, Abdulrehman Fakhroo,
who is apparently doing his best for us in a
somewhat difficult territory.
With regard to the point which you mention re
garding spare parts, our distributor holds at
the moment a reasonable supply of these, con
sidering the few Morris cars which are actually
operating in that territory.
We shall be more than pleased to assist you in
any way possible in regard to the purchase and
operation of a Morris car for your official
duties.
»Vith regard to the tuition ol your driver, we
are writing to our subsidiary company in Bombay,
