dince I have known a bit of the history of Dubai territ

work ' one by tinest type of British Consuls who have worked faith-

despite the hardships of the climate,
malaria and Poslem resistence. T lay you younger men always live up
to the high standard of such men as General dir Percy Cox, Col.
Gray, Cols. Knox, Travor, dir Lionel Haworth and others. Outsiders
cannot understand the great contrast between 1S11 when no white
■ 'Nerson was allowed to land in Dubai and up here and today t hese
xirabs are asking for doctors to come and live among them.
I informed dhaikh Hamad if you allowed me four permits
or no objection certiiicates I would send them home to my Board for
a nan doctor anc his wife and also for a clergyman and his wife to
come and help me. But I want the clergyman to be so interested in
the medical work that he will study nursing as much as he can so
when he comes out here, I wish him to assist the an doctor in the
operations and look after the medical supplies that they are not
stolen. It may be the doctor and the clergyman are single men
and will not need extra permits but I think it is best to send
the four to make Stare of getting the doctor here. I have a nurse
hiss Ldna Barter who is planning to join me as soon as President
Roosevelt will allow women to travel out. H.H. the Sultan of Huscat
gave me a permit for her three years ago but if vou .;ish to men
tion her name also for this Dubai territory I shall appreciate it.
The person to whom the permits are to be" sent is

iou can r est assured no missionary will be sent here who is not
pro British for the men of this Board are chiefly of Scotch descent.
Dr. Harold Laird is the President and Rev. £arl Lie Intire is the
Treasurer. Dr. Holdcroft the Secretary has spent nearly forty
years an Korea and knows 1 ow bitter has been the Japanese oppression
in his Hission field.
If all goes well I plan D.7. to leave here after ten
< ays or may be a week for Saham.- SI ... has been ever and
ever so kind and courteous to me.
Sincerely Yours

is limited, out her general medical work is excellent and her spirit
in ministering to all and sundry very fine. Her Hvangelistic zeal
is very_great,^but her tact is unusual, and so far as I know the
Krub^ Rulers under whom she has worked have esteemed her work very
highly indeed. I do not believe that there has been any exception
.is at any time. She is very much ^ iedy, by the. British as
by the American definition of that term.
Dr. hosmon left our organisation because
her religious convictions, is of a very conservative tyoe

indeed,
r ret not wish to remain associated with a group with whom she differ-
ec. so strongly, ,/e v/ere sorry to see her go, but she left with
our very best v/ishes for her independent missionary career, and
those good ishes she has still.
Dr. Hosmon has been trying for some Tr ears to
get a group to come out and join her in her ;ork for the villages
of Oman* I think that you can take without hesitation her assurance
i such workers which she secures r ill be extremely loyal
, to the British rule in Arabia • ./hat she says in her letter is
perfectly true, Her own convictions lave always run that way.
