14th January. I have to-day Saturday informed local representative of the
Anglo-Persian Oil Company that I have presented to the Shaikh of Kuwait comments
of His Majesty's Government on the Anglo-Persian Oil Company and Eastern and
General Syndicate proposals for oil concession and that he can begin negotiations with
the Shaikh. As Holmes is absent in London I suggest that Syndicate principal should
be informed of the above.

Sir , Bushire, 27th December, 1932.
I n continuation of my printed letter dated 17th December, 1932,* I have the
honour to enclose herewith a copy of a letter dated 19th December, 1932, from the
General Manager, Anglo-Persian Oil Company, Limited, Abadan.
2. The position, as you will see, is that the Anglo-Persian Oil Company have
two drafts, which, for convenience, I will refer to as A and B. A is the draft (revised
form) submitted by the Company in August, 1932 (forwarded under my despatch
No. 36, dated 25th August, 19321"), and commented on by the Petroleum Department,
vide your despatch Confidential, dated 10th November, 19324 B is the one sub
mitted to you under my printed letter referred to above. There are also certain
points in the Company's letter forwarded herewith, which the Company have not yet
revealed to me. These I will call C.
3. As you will see from paragraph 1 of the Company's letter enclosed herewith,
the Company proposes to initiate negotiations with B, and follow this up with C, if
necessary. It is evident therefore that the negotiations will take some time, as
presumably the Eastern and General Syndicate also have modifications ready to concede
to the Shaikh, if necessary.
4. With reference to the query in the last paragraph of the Company's letter
I propose to reply that they can initiate and conduct negotiations without further
reference as soon as the
