Sir: ^,-jb
i nave^ttAaonor to ac'aiov/ledge the receipt of
your letter daued January 3, 1931, concerning per-
Mission for a contemplated trip into the interior
bv Dr. nosmon, an ximerican medical missionary no \7
stationed at lascat.
I must apologize for the delay in answering
jour communication which was occasioned by the fact
that on February 10th I left for a trip to various
Gulf ports and hoped also to be able to visit Mascat.
However, when I reached Bahrein I could find no means
ox pursuing my journey except by utilizing the slow
mail and ^consequently coull not afford the necessar' r
length of time to journey to your city.
. ^ Prior to my.journey to the Gulf I noted the various
points.you made in your letter to me and endeavored on
my visit to.Bahrein to learn something of the conditions
prevailing in Muscat. I am attaching a copy of the
letter I wrote to Dr. Hosmon on December 16", 1930, in
Wiiich let oer i expressed my ideas on the subiect of her
contemplated trip.
-.on ..ill note that I have informed Dr. Hosmon that
an American consular officer stationed at Baghdad is
no u in a position to judge of conditions in Muscat nor
to take the responsibility of urging that permission
be granted for trips into the interior.
Thanking you for your courtesy in writing' me and
assuring you of any assistance that this office ca-n
give you, I am, Sir,
