Sir,
Geolo g ical Survey - Kow eit .
oith reference to previous correspondence on the above
subject, we have the honour to inform you that as a next step
in the Geological survey of Koweit Territory we are anxious to
undertake an aerial reconnaissance at an early opportunity, and
we shall be greatly obliged if you will be so good as to assist
us by obtaining the permission of H.E. the Sheikh to this
arrangement.
The survey party who visited Koweit at the beginning of
January, are at present working up specimens, and ccording to
existing arrangements are due to return to Koweit at the end
of the present month to continue their investigations. Perhaps
you would be so good as to approach H.E. the Sheikh on our
behalf regarding this proposal also. The proposed aerial survey,
however, would take place first and in all probability would be
undertaken in our own aeroplane.
Te are given to understand that there is a good aerodrome
at Koweit v/hich could be used as a base for the aerial operation
if necessary.
May we also take this opportunity to extend our best
thanks for the assistance you have already rendered us and our
geological party in the arrangements connected with this survey.
We have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servants,
For ANGLO-PERSIAN OIL COMPANY LTD.
