say, a substantial Public Works Contract being negotiated through
us.
6. We feel certain that, with our intimate knowledge of the
Contractors, Manufacturers, and ^Suppliers in the United Kingdom
together with our experience during the past two years in supplying
the State Government of Bahrain, we should well be able to satis
factorily arrange for all similar .supplies required by His Highness
The Sultan of Muscat with a minimum delay and at competitive prices.
7. We are forwarding this letter to you in triplicate in case
additional copies are required and shall be pleased to let you have
