Sir,
I ain very sorry to be again troubling your
goodselves, but, as this is entirely a problem of living,
I hope you will excuse me, and, giving your kind considera
tion, see that my following petition is carried out.
At the time my son. Prince Tarik, left here, it
was promised by the man who came to fetch him, Mr. Abdul-
minim-al-Zavani, a trade representative of the Muskat Govern
ment, that the salary due him would not be cut, but "he paid
to me every three months (i.e. March, June, September and
December), making £45 at £15 per month. After his departure
in July, 1937, I have received this promised amount only once
As for the remaining months, there came £30, at £10 per month
I do not know whether it is my right or not, and, if it is,
to what extent, to receive these payments from the Muskat
Government, but have been taking them as a gift. Of course,
a gift cannot have a limit or measure. For this gift I am
very, very grateful to the Muskat Government, as it has
helped my living.
However, as you know, this much money in these
days, even for a very humble living, will not be enough. So,
up to the present, I have been selling precious articles of
my property, in order to make the two ends meet with wh&t
your Government has so kindly been giving me. If my health
had permitted me, I would not have been ashamed to work for
a living, and would not have bothered either you or my son.
But, as a result of the haruships I have suffered in order
to bring up rn# son properly, I have trouble in blood circu
lation and a heart disease. Nov/, there is no more property
to sell, but, thanks to God, my son is now of age and can
look after his mother. For this reason, I beg of you to
add to my income £10 more out of my son’s salary (only) and
make sure its continuance. After this much has been in
creased, I shall only have been able to put my head above
v/ater.
I would appreciate it very much if you would kxxi
kindly in your reply, let me know my son^ health and his
address, as for the last five months I have received no news
from him whatever. Also if possible, a large photograph of
him would make me very happy and grateful to you all ray life.
Av/aiting a reply from your goodselves, I am,
Yours very respectfully,
KAMILE ILGIRAY
