for further treatment this year. I am very anxious to
do this, as the results may otherwise be serious.
My intention would therefore be to proceed
on leave on or about May 1st (I cannot get away earlier
as the Jiearchus has set my Spring tour back) returning
by 31st July and to hand over on September 1st, which
would leave my successor with the cold weather before
him. The obvious person to take temporary charge is
Alban, who can very easily move over from Kerman. He
has experience of all the Arab posts and has been Charge
d’Affaires in Kabul; in addition I should of course be
available for consultation at home.
Yours sincerely,
3d. G^CiVRilY PRIOR.
