ENCLOSURE IN AIR MAIL LETTER
No. 2 3 -7JUL1939
FROM btC ETARY, POLITICAL DEPT.
INDIA OFFICE
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.
It is proposed in the near future to replace
Mr. E.V. Packer, the Company f s present Manager in
Bahrain, by Mr. Frederick Arthur Ball. Your
consent to the posting of Mr. Ball to Bahrain is
asked.
Mr. Ball is 35 years of age, married, was
educated at the Liverpool Institute, worked for
9 years in all with the British American Tobacco
Company in Egypt and Syria, and has served for the
last 7 years with this Company and the Iraq
Petroleum Co. Ltd. For the last 24 years he has
been our assistant manager at Jeddah, where we
believe his relations, both with the public and
with the British and other diplomatic authorities,
have been excellent.
We should, therefore, be very glad to receive
your formal approval to the proposed posting.
We have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servants^
