assume you have not yet had a reply to this - and I would be
glad of your further views on the subject.
It is of course on the telegraph side only that we have
foreseen any difficulties in taking over 4 Gwadur office, and in
this connexion we have noted Donaldson’s letter of the 19th
December to CabXe taiil ¥ireless Limited, about their Musce/t
concession, in which he tells the Company of the Political
Resident's views about the establishment of a small wireless
station at Gwadur. The Company were not previously interested
in taking over Gwadur services, but probably the matter was
approached purely from the commercial aspect, and you will no
doubt advise us further on the political aspect when you have
received the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
