Yourtelegram No.656 which I have repeated to
Tehran. Government of Indians decision has come
as a great surprise and shock to me. I had hoped to hold this
post until November 20th 1938 which is date on which I attain age
for compulsory retirement.
Under proposed arrangement of relieving me middle of
September this year and my taking fourteen months leave pending
retirement I shall suffer considerable pecuniary loss which I
can ill afford on account of having to help my two sons in the
Army, having made my plans to stay at Kerman lor another year and
having laid in stores etc. for that period.
In these circumstances I beg that you will kindly
give the question your favourable consideration anu approach
Government of India to postpone decision for a year and allow me
to continue inm my present appointment until I complete my full
service •
In the event of this being impracticable I beg that
you will kindly make representations to Government of India
pointing out my grievances and hardships caused and recommending
as
that Government of India should at least grant mep^a special case
a gratuity, the equivalent of difference between my present
salary surplus allowances and salary I would draw while on
combined leave for next fourteen months, which would amount
approximately to Es 8000, to compensate me for loss I would sustain.
This gracious act on the part of the Government of
India would be a great relief and help to me as I will have to
break /
