of the 3th February 1936 on the subject of few-lire ner f s deputa
tion to uscat State* I have already indicated to you in
other correspondence, I agree that Bre mer would be by no means
fl'V-
a suitable candidate for,appoint: ent of this kind even if he
ware ready to taka it or the Saltan ready to pay the terms which
^re ner might de..and. a t ;ree, I think, on the othar hand,
that it is in orinciple daEirable for the 3ultan to ha net in
thin i attar and for soao reliable officer to be jiran to him,
if possible, as Political iidriser, sal it may prove £^®»sible
to persuade him to take any othor candidate. Have you con
sidered any other possible names? Ly own feeling is that a
23»ch junior officer of the type of Chamcy or Hickinbotham
would be quite satisfactory 'ind would of course be liuch cheaper
if the Sultan is prepared to accent him. The attar is one in
which His hccellency the Ticeroy takes a considerable personal
interest and I hope therefore that it r ay prove possible lator
to do ao ething •bout it, even if it is impracticable in the
near future. I certainly agree that you should approach the
Sultan on the subject when next you see him which will I pre-
su e be in London and you might also discuss the .atter before
hand with ..aaton ; to whom 1 air sanding a copy of this letter
together with a copy of *tfe bavidge's letter of the 26th Deer.
lours sincerely.
