November 19th,1939-
Sir,
With reference to your despatch No.3 (K 1020/1020/234)
of the 2?th January 1938* regarding the office allowance
assigned to this office, I have the honour to inform you
that I have now concluded an agreement for the lease of a
new consular rest-house and office and I enclose a
translation of the contract which is valid for a period of
one year from the 28th. October last with option of
renewal on the same terms for two further periods of one
year each* I have not yet been able to have the contract
registered with the proper authorities owing to the
absence of the landlord and the illness of his agent.
2* The rent for the present premises is the same
as for the former house, namely four hundred and
fifty rials a month. The garage however is not yet
ready and until it is a sum of fity rials a month
will be deducted from this amount.
3. As there is only one servant f s room in the new
house it will be necessary to continue to provide
the gatekeeper and his family with accommodation
outside at a cost per month of fifty rials but owing
to the present quarters being more compact than the
former I expect to be able to economize this amount
from the sum set aside for general maintenance*
4. I have inevitably incurred certain expenditure
on moving in to the new house and rendering it
habitable, the main items being (a) cartage and
porterage/
