I enclose a copy of a telegram No 22, dated 3rd July,
received from Major Lincoln in reply to my telegram informing
him that he would he relieved hy Major Falconer about the
middle of September.
3. No doubt the orders came as a surprise and a shock to
Major Lincoln, who is disappointed at not being allowed to
continue at Kerman until November of next year.
*
4. Majors Lincoln has raised three main points
(a) that I should recommend to Government that he be kept
on until November 20th 19 33,
(b) that as a special case he should be given a gratuity
of jss 3000,
(c) that he has not received benefits under the Lee
Commission passage rules.
5. The following general considerations apply to Major
Lincoln* s case. He is an I.M.D. officer, who, as he points
out, has been acting in the Indian Political Service The branch of the British Government of India with responsibility for managing political relations between British-ruled India and its surrounding states, and by extension the Gulf, during the period 1937-47. . Except
for two of the years that he was at Khorramshahr he was His
Majesty's Vice-Consul, and for the last five years he has been
His Majesty's Consul at Kerman, holding in addition to the post
at Bandar Abbas.
