Dated 15th April, 1948
Dust a line to let you know we have been asked
by the Middle East Secretariat of the Foreign Office, if we
would like to act as Supply Agents for His Highness the Sultan
on similar lines to our Agreement with Bahrain.
We had a meeting yesterday afternoon with Mr.
Dundas and Miss Waterlow at the Foreign Office, when it was
agreed that we should open negotiations on the general lines .
of our Agreement with Bahrain.
As regards the actual figures to be inserted in
the Agreement, if indeed Muscat should decide to appoint us,
we have asked that they be left in abeyance until we get some
idea of the volume of orders they anticipate placing during the
next few years.
For your personal information, I enclose a copy
of the letter we have addressed to the Foreign Office today.
We very much hope that we shall be lucky enough
to be appointed for this purpose, which will further cement
our existing good relations with the Gulf.
1 trust that all goes well with you and yours
and we all here join in sending you a our very best regards.
Yours sincerely,
Sd/- Bill Kendall
