De?r Sir;
In ree-arcs to previous conversations with Mr. Howe
concerning commercipl fishing in this prep I pin advised "by him
that the following information would "be most usefull. (l) The
approximate population of Bahrein Island. (2) The enproxirarte
amount of fish, per day, such p population would consume.
While "both ^ifoires have "been previously acertpined "by
us it is felt that such information from your office would stand
us in greater stead, with a third party, than any such airoroximation
we could make.
Thanking you in advance for your kind cooperation.
