My dear Sir Trenchard,
Please refer to my demi-official letter No.F.549-N/37,
dated th^26/29th November 1937, forwarding a copy of a
note of discussions held between Sir Aubrey Metcalfe and
the Sultan of Muscat.
The G-overnment of India will be glad if you would
kindly furnish them with your views on Colonel Bremner’s
deputation to Muscat State and if you will also suggest
the names of any other suitable officers for the purpose
as there is no immediate likelihood of our being able to
spare Colonel Bremner.
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-.C.A.Gr. Savidge,
The Hon’ble Lieutenant Colonel,
