The Right Honourable AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,
Eis Majesty’s Secretary of State for India.
Simla, the 6th August 1915.
Sir,
,. Wo have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Lord Crewe’s Poli-
tf*! despatch No. 35, dated the 9th April 1915, regarding the proposed supply
ot an official Gujarati translation of the Abyssinia Order in Council A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council. 19X3 to

2. The Government of Bombay From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions. , whom we consulted, state that they
could arrange for the translation of the Order into Gujarati at a cost of about
Rs. 520, but that the Governor in Council does not consider that there is
sufficient ground for charging the cost to Indian revenues.
3. In view of the fact that Indians who would benefit from the trans
lation are resident in Abyssinia, and since fees levied under the Order are not
credited to Indian revenues, we concur in the views of the Government of
Bombay, and await your further instructions in the matter.
We have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servants,
