Dear Secretariat!
Your letter No. £ 4452/73/91 dated the 19th
April 1948| about the appointment of a purchasing agent for
the Sultan of Unseat.
2. Up to date we have not heard from Uessrs. JCerolai^,
Keyrner and Gellately and Kankey, and owing to bad communicat
ions with Muscat is is likely to be some months before we get
anyghing final settled. It is quite possible that the Sultan
of Muscat may ask us to advise him about the terms offered by
the competing firms and in this case we shall need some expert
guidance, which we shall probably have to ask you to obtain
for us.
3. In the circumstances we would ask that the orders
which are outstanding should not be held up. If the Foreign
Office do not wish to be concerned with the placing of them,
possibly you could furnish us with the names of some suitable
firms with whom we could correspond direct.
Yours ever,
RESIDENCY
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
