6* The choice lies between (a) an officer of the
Political Service, and (b) a retired officer - like Byard
of some other Government Service. With regard to (a) the
choice is small owing to the very few officers of the
Service who know any Arabic at all, and one of the
qualifications for the post would certainly be a knovdedge
of that language.
7. If you agree I propose approaching the Sultan on the
subject when next I see him and the question of who should
replace Byard could perhaps be postponed until the Sultan T
final decision is known?
8. I am sending a copy of this letter, with a copy of
Savidg^s demi-official letter under reference, to Watts.
Yours sincerely,
Sd/-.T.C. Fowle,
Sir Aubrey Metcalfe. KG IB., CSI.. OT6.,
Secretary to the G-overnment of India,
^xlernal Affairs Department,
New Delhi.
