no agreement or understand!ng of any kind with the State f
and that it appears like Top ay to here *Just growed’** l
think it would be a good thing to set that Jollier does not
get a risa for Muscat again, as we do not want any question
of a State Post office being raised there. It they should
take up the question, we should threaten to withdraw our
Post Office which would e on bring them to their senses,
3* There is much that is uneatisfaotory in the position

seem to hare been subordinated to money«making, 1 find
that the Postmaster in Kueeat is a Muscat btate subject,
and I hart just disoorered that out of the clerks in the
