Many than^s^for your two betters
by K. M. I have passed your information on
who seem very satisfied with it. They do ask,
however, if you could possibly know what type of
plane iv. L. iv!. sent in on a trial flight, and whom
they have appointed as agents. Could you let me know
this?
Syrian and Lebanese visas. We have no
03 /rian or Lebanese Consuls in Basra and visas have to be
obtained from Bagdad. I n the normal course of events
they take up to three weeks to obtain, but if applied
for through oil company channels in Bagdad they~seem to
get them f, over the counter”, and I suggest that this
is the method to adopt.
I am very grateful for the stamps you sent
me and feel rather guilty at taking some of your last
set away.
When may we hope to see you in Basra* and
how soon is the near future? I am surprised that you
let a mere P.R. throw your plans out of gear.'j!
Robin Andrew, Esq.. ,
Political
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
